I want to let people know that Ultimate at World Games sold 39,500 tickets to the games. This surpassed Rugby 7s, which had only 35000. This is a great step forward for the game. Team USA beat Japan 13-6 in the finals. Canada lost it's bronze medal match to Australia 13-8.

Instead of singing songs or chanting haikus after a game, some teams may play silly or raunchy games to commemorate the fun that they enjoyed with their opponents.

So all the sectional tournaments have been played. There have been some upsets, some broken hearts, and some truly spectacular sectional showdowns. I love this time of year because we get to see who are the contenders and who are the pretenders. Here are some final sectional thoughts and some regional previews.

Summary and discussion of the rules alterations from Solstice in Eugene, OR.

With the '09 games just around the corner, we bring a couple of perspectives from the '05 team that was victorious in Germany, and take a brief look ahead at what the winter might bring, pending more information from the UPA. Enjoy.

Stanford was a game filed some of the most intense highs I’ve experienced in frisbee. Stanford kept things close early on, like most teams. We had our first break at 4-3 and then continued on a 5-2 run to go up 9-5. Stanford was the first team to punish us with their handler offense. They rarely throw downfield to cutters save for Tom James – their Callahan nominee.
