Rundown of the results for the Canadian teams this weekend.
2009 Upstate NY Club Sectionals
Open
- Goat goes undefeated and wins the section as expected
- Phoenix plays strong all weekend and loses 15-11 in first place game to Goat. Manages to hold off Medicare to secure 2nd
- Medicare continues their strong summer/fall season with a 3rd place finish and a tight match versus Phoenix.
- Black Ace disappeared from schedule, and Firebird made the semis despite going 1-3 on day one. Not sure what was going on in day 2.
- No other results yet, so we're not sure how Sunday played out for the other teams or who advances to regionals

- Tundra is done for the season barring some spots opening.

- Magma has a 2-2 pool play day but have the same two loss meltdown in the playoffs. They tie for 7th.

According to rsd, there are 2 open spots in NE Open Regionals, plus the inevitable withdrawal of DoG to Masters Regionals. I would think that Medicare has a great chance to make it 5 Canadian teams at Regionals.
DoG's withdrawal means that the 7th placed team from ENE goes to sectionals. That's how it worked last year, and according to the ENE sectionals website that is what happened. Good call on Tufts and Brown but having played in the tournament we beat ourselves. Tufts and Brown played well and punished Circus for making mistakes. It was the first really poor tournament day for RC this season.
If I recall correctly it was 15-10 GOAT in the finals (I was sidelined and filming so I had nothing better to do than know the score). If scorereporter says differently I may be wrong, but you can't always trust it.
It's going to be a very exciting NW Regionals. Sockeye and Revolver are expected to fight it out for the top seed. Furious and Jam are expected to meet for the 3rd seed, but Rhino, Voodoo, and End Phase have all shown darkhorse surprise potential in the past. PRZYBILLA is a mystery to me, but they've come out of the woodwork to prove they're even better than Rhino.
T1000 I've got to agree. The Northwest looks incredibly strong this year and it's hard to look past them for favourites for the title this year. Chain, Ironside, Ring, and Bravo have all had strong tournaments but there are going to be 3 really strong teams coming out of the Northwest. Should be really sweet.
With regards to Firebird making semis, that's what happens when Cornell and Syracuse both go home and withdraw from Pool B on Sunday. A1 vs. B2 and B1 vs. A2 for semis. One could argue that it was unfair for Western and Thruway from Pool A, but that's the way the seeding went.
GOAT vs. PHX: 15-10 is correct.
