Nation,Quick update before a little shut eye. Making the trip to Kingston for Goosebowl early tomorrow.
Bets of luck on day 3!
OPEN
Reason to celebrate and reason to be disappointed if your a Canadian ultimate fan today.
GOAT, whose great season has been largely discounted on many UPA finals hype threads, had another solid day Friday. They lose 15-7 to Johnny Bravo (of Boulder , Colorado), but then take care of the legendary Condors of Santa Barbara 15-10. With this win, Goat moves on to Quarters against Chain Lightning of Atlanta. Thus, the Toronto/Ottawa squad has a realistic shot of making semis, and going further in this tournament than they have every done.
3 time UPA and defending World Champion Furious George looked to rebound from a dismal 0-3 day one. They needed to win both of their games and hope for a bit of luck/fate to get a crossover opportunity for quarters. They did their part, beating Rhino 15-1o and Pike 15-11. Unfortunately, the carry over loss from day one left them in a three way 2-1 tie from Rhino and Truck Stop, and Truck Stop advanced on a tie breaker. Furious is now out of the running for the title and will compete for 9th.
Here is how the Open Quarters shape up
- Johnny Bravo versus Boston Ultimate
- Chain Lightning versus GOAT
- Sockeye versus Truck Stop
- JAM versus Sub Zero
Bounced out of the power pools, the Capitals of Ottawa/Toronto looked to bounce back and get into the quarters in back door fashion.
Starting the day 1-0, Capitals defeated MOJO 15-8 and then shot the Loose Cannon team 15-4 to finish 3-0 and have a shot at making quarters. Down early to San Diego's Safari, the Capitals came back to win 14-12.
Coming back from weak pool relegation, the Capitals find themselves in the quarter-finals against Riot. This will be a daunting task.
The quarters look like this:
- Fury versus Backhoe
- Lady Godiva versus Ozone
- Riot versus Ozone
- Brute Squad versus Zeitgeist
