ROY – Day 3
Ultimate can be a very frustrating game. It’s so easy to be inconsistent in it, which can be painful. ROY is a very inconsistent team.

ROY – Day 2
Well that was interesting. ROY is an interesting team.
Let me just say to start that I was entirely wrong on my prediction but right in my reasons to predict it.

Live Schedule for Saturday
Last night I ran a test from the press box (many thanks to the TD Damien for that) and we’re looking good to do a broadcast today starting at 1530. While we are broadcasting live at this time the broadcast today is considered as a test for tomorrow and there will be technical glitches along the way.
Masters final will start at 1545 ET and Juniors at 1800 ET.
The camera may be on but not moving prior to the Masters final.

CUJO: Day 2 of play
Day 2 for CUJO was a great day – we got to face 2 really good teams in Misfits and Reign (defending national champions).
For the Misfits game, our goal was to win so we shortened our bench considerably; sitting 5 guys. However, the level that those 9 guys had to play at was more than they could handle and, down 8-2 at half, Leah and I switched things back to the 3 lines of guys we had talked about the night before after our first day of games.

Moondoggies – Day 2
A hot and tiring day at Bishops has left me a bit sleepy as I type this update. Our day shouldn’t have been this hard but the first two teams we played were, simply put, awesome.

Lotus – Day 2
Lotus had an easier day two at Nationals. We started the day against Wild Rose a talented team from Calgary. Sonia Komenda, (our cutter who is handling until Sat) and all star captain Kristen (rookie) Laurin gave lotus the start we needed going up 6-0. Lotus maintained their focus and finished the game with a solid 15-1.
The second and final game of the day was against hosts EXO. This team gave us more of a challenge as some points went long…too long. Kate Jardine found her striking game receiving lots of hucks from vets Mon Kerr-Costner and Meredith McNaughten. One of our other Ottawa pick ups, Alison also made some impressive grabs mid field. The final score 15-3. Lotus is getting into the groove and still gearing up for the start of play-offs. We are excited for our four handles to arrive for the weekend festivities.

Newfoundland Liberation Army – Day 1
Peter and I have played together on Too Bad this season as well as on various Mixed teams as we’ve been picked up as a group. He plays both as a handler and a mid-striker. Peter is also a board member for London Ultimate and was the TD for London Calling this past weekend. You can find his update below:
I was lucky enough to pick up with Newfoundland Liberation Army through a friend Pierre-Luc (PL) Bisaillon formerly of Wreckhouse. After meeting my new team on Wednesday night I found out that they were a great bunch of guys and very dedicated to ultimate. However, this national tournament was going to be a huge learning experience for us as roughly half of our team had never played in a tournament before of any kind!
