From Mainland
Why do these tournaments take so long to organize and yet are over so quickly? Most of you are back in TPE right now so I thought I should send a little recap for our trip: for those of you that can't remember. We played 7 games, came back with 5 wins and 2 losses. Not too shabby. Ben Hoff and Emily Guh won the spirit award from our first game. Congrats Christina and Denny won some sort of award for pushing the limits in our Kuru game. What, What!
Some other things that stand out include: 1. not going to the Sauna with Ben, Josh and Stuart 2. running cup with Eduardo 3. the medic that seemed to smoke more than do anything else 4. our game that was interrupted by the wedding 5. Elisa catching every disc even when she ended up laying out every other catch. I wanted to thank both Lin and Esther for coming out to cheer us on / help coach us. Denny gets the award for travelling the farthest and spending the most money ( he beats Esther by a few miles). Here is our recap: Saturday Jeju Awesome (W 8 – 6) Jeju Hyun-Jeon (sic) (W 10 – 2 ) Seoul F (L 2 – 10) Devil’s Own (Seoul D) (W 10 – 7) Sunday Seoul E (W 10 – 2) Kuru (L 2 – 10) Jeju Awesome (W 10 – 7) In closing, I wanted to thank everyone again for such a great weekend.
From Eduardo It was a pleasure to have played in Jeju with you all.. you all made my first (but most definitely not last) ulti tournament and incredible experience that I am sure wont forget -how could I!! after all the running, Christina's awesome korean (thank you!) all that kimchi, good laughs and as has been already pointed out Ben's (as well as James) expression after downing that rice wine.
From Christina James: spirited fiestiness in his camaraderie with the other teams; constant hustle on the field esp on D; all his organization work in getting us to Jeju! THANK YOU Elisa: graceful sliding catches--I think she was a baseball player in her former life Eduardo: diving catches, running hard in the cup on D Emily: nice handling, cool, composed play Josh: great, quick cuts, reading my mind on where to go, sweet D Denny: joined the team without missing a beat, positive attitude and willing to sacrifice his body for the team Ben: always there for the dump, ready to help out Stu: intensity and passion for the game Esther: coming from Sooooooo far to support the team Lin: support for the team; selflessness and wisdom in taking herself out of the tourney (those other teams wouldn't have known what hit 'em if she had played!!)
