We won. Need I say more? Perhaps I should.
…yeah. It was a lot of fun, had a pretty good (but not great) turnout, several of the non-sophs (Dermo, Rem, Owen, Molly, Charlie) and alums (Pnut, Tommy Dickie, Orsi, Liz) came back up to play; definitely good to see people. My team was admittedly stacked, not in the sense that anybody cheated, but in the sense that we just had a pretty solid level of talent across the board, with a plethora of handler-capable folks who could chuck it upwind or down, and several people with legs to run.
We started off winning out our pool, our closest being a hard-capped game we won on universe point (we let them back into it); this game was also highlighted by s point that took a good 20-30 minutes; at one point a timeout was called and we took a good five minutes before we went back to it–and then it still took five turns before I ended the misery catching a callahan.
Finals was pretty exciting, there was a decent-sized crowd watching. I got to make some nice looks, some swilly looks that worked (that were not swilly in my book–I threw a blade for a score in transition at one point), and some other looks that didn’t work, in large part due to Rembert being within, you know, 30 yards of where I was throwing. Got to show off a bit, which was nice. Me and hat tourneys get along pretty well, if the High Tide hat and Mike’s hat are any indication–I have a lot of fun being able to run the show to an extent and work on my game.
Been fairly active the past week. Haven’t lifted since Tuesday, but I had CW on Wedsnesday, where we played basically savage for a few hours, and then did more or less the same thing against Enuf Monkeys in a Dartmouth scrimmage Thursday. Took Friday off, had the hat tourney today, and tomorrow comes more CW practice, as well as a scrimmage with New Noise. Hopefully we get good numbers so I can take it easy-ish. It’ll be a good tourney-simulation to do back-to-back days like this, but at the same time if I want to get right back into training on Monday I don’t want to be killing myself tomorrow. We’ll see.
