List of Buce Fields

Quadrangle
The Quadrangle is the former home of the Quad Team and the birthplace of Buce. It has the most history and usage of all the Buce Fields. Before being used as a Buce field in the 2007 Buce Season, it was used for 2 years as a practice area for hackeysacking by members of the Original 8.
The Quadrangle was host to most of the matches in the 2008 Buce League. It is the most popular too, with the most spectators to date attenting the Quadrangle during their lunch breaks to attend either Quad Team in-house matches or Buce League matches.
Since the Quad Team's departure from Merewether High School at the end of 2008, it has become the home ground for the E Team, who use it for their in-house matches, when not training near E Block.
The First Double Buce was scored at this field.
Front Field
The Front Field is the home ground to the Front Team. It was home to two of the matches of the 2008 Buce League and has bred not only a league for Buce but also a competitive handball scene.
Because of the repressive laws around those parts, and the Front Team's incredible media restrictions and censorship policies, no known pictures of the actual Front Field exist.
Customs Field
Customs Field is the newest Buce field and the future ground for the 2009 Buce League. It is located in Foreshore Park in Newcastle.
The Customs Field has become the most frequented Buce field of late 2008 and early 2009, because of the Buce League, and the numerous training sessions that clubs participate in at Customs. Most media footage is now of the field due to National Buce News' involvement in their coverage of the 2009 Summer and Winter Buce Leagues.
The Customs Field is renouned for being the field in which the most hackisacks are lost. This is because of inconveniantly placed drain holes and trees, which hackisacks are kicked into and rarely are found again.
Rooftop
The Rooftop is a field that is used for special events. It was first opened with a game by the 2008 Allstars, the Buce players that won the prestigious 2008 Buce League Awards. It has since become the planned field for the grand final match of the 2009 Buce League.
Geographically the Rooftop is located north of the central business district of Newcastle. It is situated on top of David Jones carpark and is to the south of the Anglican Cathedral. It is a multi-storied parking lot which opens to the Buce field on the uppermost level. Enclosed with chain link fencing and little to no cars it is regarded as one of the safer rooftop options for the game of Buce.
The Rooftop stars in half of the "Buce for Beginners" film directed and edited by Charlie Rogers.
Since the end of 2008 and the start of 2009, the Rooftop has become the Quad Team's home ground. All training, media-sponsored games and friendly matches occur there.
However, since the Quad team rarely practice as a group, the field on the Rooftop is still considered a special events field.
The Rooftop is the designated field for the 2009 Buce League Grand Final, as it is the home ground of the winning team in 2008.
