Chowdafest 2005

One more tournament in the books. The last tournament before Sectionals (September 17-18). Chowdafest takes place in Seekonk, MA (right next to Providence, RI -- or, as I like to call it, Ass Town) at these beautifully maintained fields for the Wheeler School.

I took a couple pictures of the aftermath (and the beforemath).

How'd my team (Redrum) do? Well... not so well. You can see the results for yourself. We wont only one game, but we managed to maintain the #3 seed in the pool because we lost so many tight games. We went up with, comparatively, a very small number of players. And that may have been the biggest factor in our performance. You can be assured that we'll be coming out all guns blazing at Sectionals.

An interesting thing the UPA has been doing just in the couple years is keeping track of the performances of the various teams throughout the season. They call their system score-reporter. It contains information about tournaments as well as individual teams. And, by the time the Fall Series rolls around, it can give you a pretty good idea of the relative strength of each team.

As for Redrum: you can see our brief history in UPA sanctioned events. Eventually, Sectionals and Regionals will fill in and be lit up with little Green boxes. Redrum! Redrum!

Ultimate Blogging

A friend of mine pointed me recently to this blog. It's all about ultimate: strategies, culture, life.

Now if you're not that into ultimate, you can be excused for not being very much interested in some random dudes mullings on the sport. But, for those of us embroiled in the thing, it's kinda interesting. This Zaz dude is fairly insightful.

It's a little taste of what ultimate players experience every weekend. And what we talk about over dinner/beers.

Yeah.

We're kinda lame like that.

I am sooo busy

Busy busy busy.

I'm gonna change my name to Mr. Busy

Well, maybe not.

But I am really busy lately. My weekends are completely booked up with ultimate things. This weekend I am going to Hingham, MA for more frisbee.

Next week I am headed to South Carolina with the Nellster. I'll be gone from Wednesday to Sunday.

Plus I play summer league every Monday and Wednesday. Though that all ends on the 20th. Woohoo. My summer league team is awful. Which is a bummer. We're charging towards the bottom of the heap. You can check it out. Click on "Standings". I'm on the Purple team.

Anyways, I just wanted to gripe a little bit about the busy-ness.
