Last year at this final regular season tournament we had an exacting Saturday, including a loss to Johnny Bravo, but pulled it together on Sunday for a couple of strong victories in the bracket. We hope to defend our 2010 Labor Day title against a very tough field of teams from across the country.
Saturday
9:45a v. Furious George (Vancouver)
Fresh off their Canadian national title, qualifying them for Worlds next year in Japan and boosting their championship pedigree, we’ll find out if they’re a morning team right away.
11:30a v. Great Britain Ultimate
We’re not sure who this will be… but we love playing the international teams.
1:15p v. Chain Lightning (Atlanta, GA)
2009 UPA championship final rematch! We have some bitter memories of several meetings with the Atlantans in Sarasota over the years, but finally got the better of them last season. This one should be a doozy and may preview another meeting in Florida if we’re fortunate enough to advance that far.
Sunday
8:00a v. Voodoo (Seattle, WA)
It’s been a while since we’ve encountered Voodoo. Some years we have trouble with them and some years we don’t. Either way, every year they are young, athletic, and unafraid.
9:45a v. Southpaw (Philadelphia, PA)
The lefties gave us a scare last year in Santa Cruz, taking half against us before we scrabbled back to win on Saturday. Hopefully we come out stronger against this scrappy squad.
