The "Wellington's Boot Invitational" is described as a tournament aiming to "create enthusiasm for our sport throughout international leagues".

The tournament will start off Friday August 4th 2006 with the "Golden Boot Competition", open to all tournament registered players who think they have what it takes to represent their club with the longest measured "Goal", the "Golden Boot" and up to $500.00 along with bragging rights being the first prize. This will be followed by three days of non-stop Australian Football action along with live entertainment in between matches.

The winning club with the most accumulated points in round robin play will win the "Wellington's Boot" and up to $1000.00. For more information contact the Guelph Gargoyles via their website.
