From ousted portavoz de la junta, Rick Cayzer:

So it was a quiet weekend. Not very eventful at all. We had a few people over for some beers, hardly anything to talk about. Lance wore a cool mask. That was the highlight really.

9 Open teams, 4 Women’s teams, and a massive 32 Mixed teams. 700 participants. Thank you so very much to all of you who came to Manila and helped us make the 2009 WFDF Manila Spirits AOUCC such a successful tournament. We received a lot of very positive feedback, thank you to all who sent us messages to let us know how much fun you had. We had a terrific time hosting you and can’t thank you enough for your support. Rest assured that we’ll be taking your suggestions on board for Spirits 2010.

Philippine Ultimate definitely represented at the recently held Singapore Ultimate Open, with 3 quality teams competing in the Pool A bracket — reigning Singapore 08 runner-up Team Philippines (who was mind-boggingly “seeded” 3rd or 4th), reigning HK Open champs Sunken Pleasure (even more mind-boggingly seeded at 7th), and returning Singapore B-Pool Champs Kidlat.

I never keep track and just make up numbers on my own) in the quarters. Continue reading ‘Shanghai 09′
