Well, I made it through one day of work and still decided to put up a post, so I take that as a good sign. If work didnt block everything website known to man, this would be a lot easier to update I feel.
Before getting to the links, quick Get Ho Ho Ho recap. Played in a 1 day tournament in 35 degree weather on Cape Cod yesterday. Although not as large as the Saturday division, still had a ton of fun. Made up of a core of Merge players plus friends, the Happy Hanukkah Huckers took to a Christmas themed tournament with a vengeance. 8 dudes, 4 girls for a mixed tournament was almost the perfect number for a 1 day tournament. Coulda used a girl or 2 more I think, but oh well. Definitely got through it. Major props to the ladies for gutting it out.
Going into it, it kinda sucked that we got relegated to Div 2, cuz there was no chance to move up and I thought our team definitely had the potential to play higher. While our results proved that thought right, I realized that I was entirely okay with playing where we were. We played 5 games, 3 pool play, a semi final and the finals. And went... undefeated! It was awesome. Highlight of the day was definitely being down 6-3 in the finals in a game to 11 and going on an 8-1 run to win. Once the defensive intensity picked up, it was over. We got awesome schwag at the end (tshirts, champagne and a trophy) as well as found an excellent local Italian place to warm up in and grub hard.
I highly recommend this tournament to anyone in the New England area looking to get a last day of ultimate in before it gets too cold. I'll hopefully have the time and to try and play both days next year. Maybe even put together a Jive team?
Anyway, on to the links:
