Will Steedman gives us the word on what went down in Singapore last weekend:
semis highlights vs Mochi
Hey disc peeps,
Just putting in some links for those of you who want to see some of the results for Singapore. Tournament was awesome…we had a team from mostly Philippines plus a few guys from Taiwan, few girls from Singapore, and J-lo.
Few newcomers to the squad stepped up and were awesome. The Singapore girls were solid defenders, Manila came up with some big plays, our two guys from Taiwan were anchors on the O and D handler positions, Mark (the new whiteboy) was laying out everywhere, and Nina from Circus was a monster!
Everyone played well and contributed, and we won an awesome semi 15-14 vs the team we lost to in final last year by one point (Mochi)….which is much of Black Flag from Spirits. We then played Freakshow in the finals in the longest game ever (over two hours) and won 17-14 in a pretty close game.
Here is write-up of tournament on Singapore Ultimate site:

Reports from Carlo Corpuz and Ping Bautista from the recently held 2010 Shanghai Ultimate Tournament:
Shanghai Games
(by Carlo Corpuz)
Day 1
First Game against Hongkong Junk
SP starts on O and easily scores the first point of the game. Although things were going our way in the first half, something felt off and we didn’t feel like the team that had just won the league championship a week earlier. Perhaps it was the week-long lay-off or maybe all the parties in-between, but something didn’t feel right. Our “D” line was having problems with their offense and our “O” line was sluggish on defense. Despite the early setbacks, we still took the first half at 6-2.

SIXTEEN teams braved a hot summer day yesterday in the qualifying round of the 3rd Cebu National Ultimate Frisbee tournament at the Aboitiz Sports Field in Mandaue City.
Because of the high turnout, the 16 teams were spread over two divisions with the top two advancing to the semifinals.
The winners of the semis will face each other in the finals tomorrow afternoon.
“The sport is rapidly growing and it is getting more exciting because there are more competitive teams this year,” said Paul John Regencia, Chairman of the Philippine Ultimate Frisbee Association. Continue reading ‘Group urges Cebuanos to try Frisbee’
