Sweet time all weekend playing

with everyone and partying the little that we managed

to party. We need more players or more sleep before

the tournament next year. No sleeping at the bar next

year, Paul.

Still, sweet time hanging out at the tourney party,

hot tub, and bar. Got to see more of Philly than I

even have before. He's a little re-cap.

Saturday:

We had a first round bye, which was nice with our late

arrival and for the people coming in Saturday morning.

First game was against a local philly team with a

couple Rage players and the like. Played an intense

game against a good team. We held on to win at double

game point. Schooney scores an easy goal to the break

side to end it.

Second game we dropped a loss to Your Mom - a NYC team

that was really much weaker than the first team we

played. We were clearly working out the kinks from the

group. Almost got the kinks gone by the end of the

game. We were down 10-5 or something and came back to

12-11 before they put us away.

3rd game was shortened to get us back on schedule and

we squashed a college team pretty handily.

4th game was reasonably close but never in doubt. Went

3-1, and since Your Mom went 2-2 we won the pool

outright.

They have free beer, pizza and a field house to eat

and drink in at the fields, so we hung out there for a

while. Then hot tubbing at the hotel, out to eat at a

bar and passing out in the hotel.

Sunday:

Sunday our first matchup was against an actual co-ed

team. We kept it close at first but we started looking

tired. I'd say our advantage all weekend was that we

took pretty good care of the disc and most of the

teams we played turned it over enough on their own

that we'd win. We forced some takeaways, but they were

giving it away a lot, too. That and we had 5 excellent

women which almost no team we played could match. This

team didn't turn it over nearly as much, they played

like a real team instead of a pickup group.

We lost that one like 13-8 or so, and then got a

revenge game against Your Mom. This time we spanked

them right from the begining. We got a few D's right

outside their endzone, they dropped a pull, and we

started rolling. We won like 13-8.

So Sunday we finished up with the beers we had been

too tired to drink Saturday night. A couple shotgun

races with the teams that were around, a little

gauntlet running and a little cower, then a little

trip for cheesesteaks.

I brought my new video camera with me for the weekend,

hopefully I'll soon figure out how to get a few

minutes of tape off of it and onto a computer. When I

get that working I'll share it with y'all.

Thank to all who came, I had a sweet time. Maybe we

should hit up Fool's Fest in DC next, in early April.

It's 3 days, which would be fun for a reunion team.

Good tournament, too.

Later,

Frank
