Wet, Wet, Wet!

October 8, 2007



My frizzer team competed in the next installment of the UPA Fall Series last weekend (Northwest Mixed Regionals in Burlington, WA) and I have one word to sum the entire weekend up: WET.



Oh yes, it rained, it was windy, and I was miserable. However, our team did qualify for Nationals in Sarasota, FL, so at least we have that going for us....which is nice.



We had a great Saturday, where we were 3-0 in pool play and won the semi-final game against Golden Spike (revenging a Sunday morning loss at Labor Day), which qualified us for Nationals (there are 4 bids from the NW to Nationals).



On Sunday, we faced Shazam Returns! (from Seattle) in the finals and the gale force winds kept the game close, with a sad double-game point loss (12-11). From there, we had to play the seeding game for 2/3 and as the torrential rains came down, we couldn't bring it home and we ended up losing to Mischief to take the 3rd spot.



In the end, it was disappointing to lose the two games on Sunday, but we're grateful that our team came out unscathed considering the weather and we are heading to the show in a couple weeks. A photog from Seattle, Bil, took some pictures and will eventually post them here.



Wish us luck!
