Seven on seven, can't move when you have the disc, and the field is setup like a football field with two end zones. A simple and fun game, that can get extremely complex when skill, weather and strategy are factored in.

In baseball, the rarest two things are the triple-play and a perfect game. In Ultimate Frisbee, the rarest plays are the "Callahan" and the "Greatest."

This tournament has definitely fluctuated in team numbers as well as programs in attendance. This tournament used to be a stomping ground for the Hodags who won it last year against Pitt and the year before over Georgia.

Independence parks and tourism officials have found a new niche market to target: the Ultimate Frisbee demographic.

My sincerest apologies to all of you who were waiting for live updates throughout the weekend.

If you got the chance to see the Worlds Open final, you saw an incredible match that capped off a great worlds for the whole country and the global ultimate scene. What was your favorite moment? Was it the shocking results of the Columbians in junior play? Was it the full emergence of the Japanese as an elite country? Canada's results?

(2)If Dylan Tunnell isn't on the world games team it's pretty much a huge joke. Chain was 5-0 with Dylan and 0-2 without him this weekend....not an accident...completely changes the game when he's on the field.

Frosty pulls together some good information on hamstring pulls in sports and how to avoid them (static stretching is not the answer). Also details a pretty intense field workout.

After finishing a Summer League game the other night, I was walking to the car thinking a little bit more about the comparisons I was trying to draw between soccer, basketball, and chess, in particular the importance of establishing space in the middle of the field or in the middle of the board.

So, now that the week is over and I'm back home, I guess it is time to reflect on the whole experience. No matter how many times you do it, and no matter what division you are in, Worlds is something very special.
