Brisbane Venue Launching Its Own BASEketball League, Promises 'Bulk Reel Big Fish'

Brisbane venue The Brightside is apparently venturing into the wide world of sports with grand plans to kick off a real-life BASEketball league, opening up expressions of interest for teams of aspiring psych-out/free-throw masters to join the shenanigans.

Inspired by the cult 1998 comedy of the same name starring South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker and a quiet "test run" over the weekend, the venue announced on Facebook this afternoon that it will be kicking off "in a few weeks".

"It's four-a-side, free to play, inside and air conditioned, the bar will definitely be open, runs on a Saturday during the day and will be playing bulk Reel Big Fish," organisers wrote.

If you're sceptical — and fair enough — rest easy; the venue has already assured in response to the raised eyebrows of one commenter that this is all "100% legit".

Eligible would-be sports stars (Brisbane-dwellers, we guess, though there don't appear to be any rules about it) are encouraged to put in an email to express interest in joining a team. 

The refs better be in roller blades though.
