Goings On

WFDF World Ultimate & Guts Championships. It only happens once every four years. World’s begins this weekend in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. With six divisions and seven days of play, it’s the highest level of international play found anywhere.
On Tuesday we’ll see some of the better match-ups of tournament in the Open Division with the first and second seeds of each pool taking on one another: Canada vs. Sweden, USA vs. Japan, and Australia vs. Great Britain.

As Ben will be participating in Vancouver, he will be sending in updates to the weblog all week. Look out for that.
Colorado Cup. Unfortunately one of the most competitive tournaments of the year is on World’s weekend. The Colorado Cup, held in Boulder, CO, will host eight of the best Open teams in country and twelve Women’s teams looking to make a splash this year at Nationals.
On the Open side we’ll get our first real looks at Johnny Bravo, Jam, Sub Zero, Truck Stop, and Doublewide. The Saturday night showcase game between Bravo and Jam looks to be a great game, and perhaps a preview of the Finals the following day.
On the Women’s side we find only three teams that were at 2007 Nationals, and nine strong regional teams who are striving to make their mark during the 2008 season.

I will be in Boulder spectating this weekend. Early next week, The Huddle will have a full tournament review of the Colorado Cup, much like our previous Feature on the 2008 Sockeye Invite.
