NexGen Thoughts

No doubt most of you have been watching the NexGen games on Vimeo or, if you want them all, on UltiVillage.  As the tour starts to travel East there are interesting developments.  One of the most interesting will be next Wednesday when NexGen play GOAT at Esther Shiner Stadium in Toronto (do not miss this if you’re around).  The game between NexGen and GOAT will be one of the more direct comparisons between Furious and GOAT than we’ve had this year.  The comparison is especially important as in less than one month the two teams are favoured at CUC and are likely to meet in the finals.

However, there are more important issues at hand.

Ontario Women’s Regionals Results

A quick update of the results:

  1. Capitals (5-0 on Saturday)
  2. PPF (4-1 on Saturday)
  3. Dame
  4. Stella
  5. Lotus (yikes!)
  6. Lily
Top four head to CUC.  Lotus not making it is a surprise but that means a number of strong ladies available for pickups ahead of CUC.  Mixed and Women’s teams will probably be looking at the top Lotus talent and I hope they act fast as there are some mighty fine players on Lotus.

The recap is delayed as we await results of No Borders in Ottawa.  For analysis purposes one post detailing the two close tournaments seems more appropriate.  Photos will also follow shortly.

CUC 2011 Calling it now – Part Deux point CINQ!

Oh silly me, thinking that I had adequately conveyed my intentions and that I was trying to be a nice guy instead of a scumbag.  Before I get around to that part I do need to add additional points that readers have added in the comments as well as those that I have received via email.

Also, thank you to everybody that posted and emailed.  It’s great to see how passionate we are about our sport and it will continue to be my intention to encourage conversation.

CUC 2011 Calling it now – Part DEUX!

Bonjour mes amis and the rest of you lot.  In the last two posts Juniors and Masters were covered and much like finals Sunday we will now concentrate on the three big divisions. To recap the rules: There are a few rules to this game so as to provide maximum enjoyment for the reader:

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