Update: Manila Tryouts

Hey Discheads,

Just a reminder that Team Philippines open tryouts for Luzon will be conducted tomorrow and Saturday:

Wednesday, January 25th
8-10pm @ Ultra

Saturday, January 28th
10am-1230pm @ Evia City Multipurpose Fields/Portofino (same location as NYL)

All players who feel they have the skills and/or talent to contribute are welcome to attend. Players are expected to make BOTH tryouts. If for some reason a player can only make one tryout, a valid reason must be given. Attending both however will give the Team Leaders a better chance to observe a players skill and most likely increase the chances they have to shine.

There will be two more tryouts in Manila following these two dates, but these will be by invitation only as cuts will be made after Saturday. Please sign up on the signup sheet TODAY so we can adequately prepare for the tryout:

Regarding provincial tryouts, they will be conducted in Visayas and Mindanao on the weekend of Feb 18/19 and Feb 25/26, details to be given later.

Thanks,
PUA Board

Singapore Recap

TP Singapore

Shanghai 09

TP Shanghai 09

By Mel Lozano

Team Philippines just finished a successful run at Shanghai, despite losing our bid for nabbing the Emperor this year.

We came in Day 2 as the as the crowd favorites yet again, easily beating Japan-Korea- China ringer team Fusion (a team whose average height was 5’8 at least, including their women), 11-5 (I think. I never keep track and just make up numbers on my own) in the quarters. Continue reading ‘Shanghai 09′
