Memory card recovered! All pictures below are from that card that was returned to me by the excellent volunteers and staff at the tournament following a thunder storm on day 4. The morning of day 3 was filled with upsets highly intese play as teams were fighting avoid elimination from the championship. I watched Train Wreck loose on Universe point to No Clue? and MuD loose to TFP at the same time. In the same set of games, Union was eliminated by Onyx. Continue Reading →

CUC 2011 Photos by Jon Hines – Day 3

Well, day 3 is done. The Masters and the Juniors finals have been played, won by the Nomads and Shock respectively. Of interest to myself as a mixed ultimate player from Ontario is that all the Ontario mixed teams were eliminated from the top 4. Quebec dominated mixed today taking 3 of the top 4 positions. On the other hand, Open seems to have been dominated by Ontario with 3 of the top 4 teams coming from Ontario. Continue Reading →

CUC 2011 Masters Preview

By Tushar | Posted in Canadian Ultimate, CUC, Masters, Tournaments | 2 Comments »

In 2007 Tombstone won CUC in Toronto against Ottawa. Tombstone subsequently retired, to some degree, and showed no signs of life until earlier this year. Likewise, teams established twenty years ago (like Nomads) have dusted off the cleats and are returning to the big stage.

This year the Masters division will be the most competitive in perhaps a decade, more competitive then 4 years ago and it promises to be exciting.

CUC 2011 Calling it now – Part 1.5

By Tushar | Posted in Canadian Ultimate, Masters | Comments Off

Since the Part 1 post yesterday more information has come to light that needs to be addressed.

Flood has indeed made top four but in 2008 and 2010 which are both “off” years. I know that the crew would love to get into the top four in a World’s year because everybody has a shot at first. This year more than ever I suspect that’s true given how balanced everything is.

More information has also come available on Nomads (thank you anonymous emailers!). The composition is said to be different from the team that won in Calgary and should include many ex-Furious players (the reason why the Open team of ex-Furious players folded). The team is said to be strong (they won Flowerbowl over Invictus), tall, and very cocky. I’m happy to also include them as the Cocky Horse at the tournament.

CUC 2011 Calling it now – Part 1

I apologize for not posting in a few months; the new company ticks along quite well and that’s due to the hard work of many. Work combined with a lack of an Ontario season, May was almost fully rained out, meant little Ultimate to speak of for this reason. However, it is now time to return to this site and I shall do so in grand fashion by making predictions on CUC 2011 results…right now.

There are a few rules to this game so as to provide maximum enjoyment for the reader:

I must make a prediction in every division for the top four.
I cannot say it’s too close to call.
If, in my mind, there is a tie then I must do my best to antagonize a local team (usually Southern Ontario).
I must select a Dark Horse for each division.

For those in the dark, CUC 2011 will be held in Ottawa it will decide which team primarily represents Canada at the World Country Championships next year. The divisions are: Open, Women’s, Mixed, Masters, and Juniors. This may also be the last Juniors or second to last Juniors division at a CUC.

Now, onwards to me calling out my friends!
