This is the first of a series of exciting weekends that are coming up over the next month or so. This past weekend was Yale Cup, which is basically a rehearsal for NE Regionals, Florida Sectionals, Desert Sectionals, and East Penn Sectionals. Next weekend also has it's fair share of action with the Bay Area, Carolina, and SoCal sectionals. Here are some thoughts.

Twenty five years have passed after the first game of Ultimate Frisbee was played in South Africa, but the sport is definitely not getting old.

This was proved at the biggest tournament on the Ultimate Frisbee calendar, the South African National Championships, which was held over two days at Bergvliet High School.

Sectionals notes from an ultimate blogger. Recaps of some of the surprising games from sectionals all over the country this past weekend.

An attempt at a Top 10 from the ultimate blogosphere. Good discussion going on in the comments too.

I thought I'd go back over some of my older posts--I have a feeling that with the influx of new readers this blog has seen over the past couple months, it's likely that some of the stuff I started posting in the summer, when I changed from simply recapping my ultimate experience to (attempting to) share how I've learned to play, has been overlooked.

The biggest tournament of the season is upon us, and there is so much to be decided. The College landscape has been blessed (or riddled, depending on your perspective) with one thing this season, parity. That is, if you don’t include the defending National Champions and their undefeated record and three tournament titles.

Both 17-year-old Caitlind Lusty and 19-year-old Shaw Dungate of Barrie have something in common... Having been named to their respective Canadian teams, the pair has qualified for a week of grueling international competition in a sport many have never heard of.

Chime in with your own favorites in the comments, please!

Food items that I made sure I was stocked up on before I left for a tournament last year...

Wow, what a year. It began with my team write-ups and it ended in the best way possible, a front row seat at College Nationals in Boulder, CO.
