This is not an approved format for 16 teams, 2 advance. It will
definitely change.

Whatever format that allows Oklahoma to get the second bid so we can have a story like the North Central, I'm down with it.

Ye, that's definitely not the final. Probably won't be until Thursday, knowing the South.

I just wish they would do bracket, it really is the most exciting way to do it.

They updated the format to correct the timing issues. Can anyone involved please say why you would use pool play over bracket play? What are the advantages, because I do not see any.

Last weekend-
Great Lakes had 2 bids and used a bracket format:
http://scores.usaultimate.org/scores/#college-open/tournamen t/10698

Conversely, Southwest had two bids and used pool play:
http://scores.usaultimate.org/scores/#college-open/tournamen t/10715

In bracket play, if you win out you only have to play 5 games. Then, to get the second bid you have to play at least 6 games and at most 7 games. In pool play if you win out you have to play 6 games. To get the second bid you have to play at least 7 games and at most 8 games. 8 regional intensity games in one weekend is A LOT. Your asking for teams to run thin, and for players to get injured. Additionally, looking at Southwest's pool play format, you have more likelihood for teams to play each other twice in one weekend. You will see that Arizona State beat UCSB in day one, only to play them again on day two in the backdoor bracket and loose to them. Same goes for Arizona who beat Los Positas on day one, then had to play them a second time on day two in the backdoor bracket, only to loose. Why are you using this format?

Bracket is up. Looks pretty standard.

Tip of the weekend: win your pool.

A team that can't handle eight regional intensity games will not be
ready for four National intensity games. Plus it seems that there
wasn't a lot of intra-regional play (compared to some other regions).
Pool play allows for a wider margin of error in the seeding, so
perhaps that factored in.

Did you know that Nationals in Austin almost killed someone? Pretty intense.

Is it more likely that this team was ill-equipped to handle national competition or was the format of the tournament geared towards depleting small rosters? Qualifying formats should not be so rigorous that the best team in the country cannot prove their top-16 in the nation.

I did know that, and I agree with you. That's also why Nationals will
not return to Austin (barring major schedule changes & inclusion of
misting tents). For the players' sakes I hope the temperatures in
Austin this weekend are not as brutal as Memorial Day '03. The highs
are forecast to be around 90°, which is hot, but there are likely
several Regionals each year with temperatures like that (Scottsdale,
Atlanta come to mind).

Top 20? Maybe that's exactly how rigorous they should be. Florida just
picked the wrong weekend to have their worst tournament of 2009. They
had opportunities to play (and lost to) all three Nationals
qualifiers.

The heat is a good point though.

That Florida team didn't under perform, they had multiple players drop on day two due to injuries and cramping due to the heat a amount of games. Including their best player, Brodie.

Additionally, at Nationals you play no more than 3 games in a day. With the moajority of games having byes in between. In a tournament spread out over 4 days. Its nothing like playing 8 games in 2 days. Which is what this format is asking teams to do.

there's only 3 pool play games, so if you win out, you only play 5 games. 4 saturday (pool play and semis), finals sunday. 6 or 7 for the backdoor spot, 8 if you didn't make semis.

I agree that if you can't play 8 regionally intense games, then you aren't going to be able to hang at nationals.

Looking to interview a few players at the tournament for a regional recap, if you have any interest, lemme know, talking some quality quality interviews, somn to make Anderson Cooper jealous.


And this pool play sucks, like KK said, 8 games in two day is redonks.

If you were at regionals this weekend, i think it was unrealistically clear that dalton smith earn FOTY this year. all the love to austin walker, but "that red head kid" from A&M was an absolute stud, and played out of his mind. ask kansas and mizzouri. So when you vote, dont forget that name. Dozen played pretty damn well this weekend. just couldnt pull it out.

Dalton definitely was a huge piece of ATM's weekend. Him and Austin should get FOTY.

Also, if anyone played or watched UNT this weekend, they probably saw a sky or a layout D by Darius Tse. He had the fat-hawk and was ridiculous. He was UNT's heart and soul this weekend and definitely deserves all-region. He is the nicest guy there is and ran, jumped and laid-out his body ragged for his last Regionals this year.

Give those dudes some nods...more to come from the weekend in another post after I get this paper done.

So... Colorado wins the region again. And Colorado doesn't hype their players like some other teams do. So who else besides Jimmy Mickle is deserving of an All-Region award? Unless Jimmy Mickle is that freaking good, there's got to be someone else.

Jackson kloor (tall, red hair), jake gamsky, Tim morrissy.

I can't speak for mamabird as to why they don't hype up their own players, but I do know that there aren't any big egos on the team and they're a super nice group of guys. Come to think of it, I think the Texas v Colorado game was one of the classiest games of college open ultimate I've seen. Few calls, very clean ultimate.

As a parent of a former player, and patron of the sport, I showed up in Austin to watch some sweet friz. All I can say from this weekend is that this Jake Gamsky guy is the real deal. Mad ups, unbelievable D's out of nowhere, and dropping dime pieces all day. Sidelined for most of the year due to a brief stint building log cabins in the mountains and having no feeling at all left in his right arm, Colorado appeared to reserve his use for only key games. And dang, did he make the difference. From my viewpoint, It looked like Jake should be a shoo-in for all-region, if not callahan.

It would be a crime not to vote dalton smith for FOTY, A&M (the third best team in the region) ran their offense through him. He was top notch in the game against us including a huge sky from out of left field to take the game away from us on universe. Every time I heard noise from the A&M games there he was laying on the ground with the disc in his hands. Kids got skills for sure.

So lets recap. After all this garbage nonsense talking, the same two teams who make Nationals every year, made it again.

"All I can say about this region is that prestige and history have been carrying some of the teams this year. When it comes to regionals, anything is possible."

Nice, Doctor. Can anyone tell me if Texas AM forfeited the game to go because they couldn't figure out a way to drive to Nationals? Or did they actually lose 15-5 when it mattered the most. I love how all the awful teams in this region spend so much time and energy hyping up their "unguardable" all region players, and none of them ever make nationals. How many unguardable, can match up with anyone, ridiculously quick, throws all day, guys are there in the SC region? By my count around 15. Half playing for Texas AM.

I can't wait for next season, and another 9 months of Doctor telling us how Texas AM can play with anyone on any given day, anything can happen etc etc. Have a pizza on me fellas.

Why dog on ATM? Those guys are legit. After playing exhausting games against Tex State and KU, they had no chance in that 2nd place game. They should have been the 3rd team to go to nationals from the SC. Something that has puzzled me since I moved to Texas from Iowa: why aren't these teams working for strength bids?
1. Winning big D little d, Hendrix, and heart of Texas against all intra region teams does nothing.
2. Texas, y u no let ATM into Centex?
3. Work together, guys. How do you think the NC can pull off 5 bids? Srsly.

Hey 'willw' (aka a dude who won't post his name)
I know Colorado is new to the Region, but as a former RC of the South, I have to say, chill out man. Down south we're proud of our guys who are ballers whether they make Nationals or finish dead last. The point of playing this sport is to have fun with your friends and celebrate greatness in all its forms. Yes Colorado had a great weekend, and hats off to them, but that doesn't take away from all the other guys out there playing their hearts out. I assume you're one of these Rocky Mountain boys, so why don't you go suck some high altitude air, and count your lucky stars you guys get to play with the boys from the South now. Good luck to TUFF and Mamabird at Nationals. Good luck to Willw having the balls to take off that mask and show people who he really is.

Hey Matt, his name is will Weston and he plays/played for Arkansas State. The "rocky mountain boys" have more class than this, and certainly have better things to do than troll ATM or any team via RSD.

You bring up some great points, Mike. Regionals is the culmination of
a season for 14 teams every year (unless you have 17 teams at
Regionals, then maybe 15 teams). Some teams are happy to be there;
some are crushed to make it no further. Seems like Colorado and Texas
will be perennial contenders for the Nationals berths until/unless the
region starts getting some much-deserved additional bids. Bird is the
new black. A&M is the new SLO. The more things change...

Sorry, in advance, about the occasional snowy Regionals. Y'all will
like them about as much as the Californians did.

Ok first of all Mike Houston, no idea who you are. You played for Missouri didn't you? If you EVER matched up with the Arkansas State teams from the early 90's you would get PUNISHED. Keep your mouth shut, you're a has been, or worse yet, you are a never was. Im sure Texas AM played hard this weekend, but that doesn't excuse months of hyping themselves up. This is like if the Utah Jazz started talking to the media about how they deserved at least 2 All NBA selections, and kept raving about how "Gordon Hayward" can matchup with anyone! Seriously he can! And CJ Miles, good luck guarding that guy, he is as quick to the basket as anyone. Meanwhile everyone and their dogs grandmother knows that the Jazz are going to be swept. Like I said before, Texas AM enjoy your post season celebratory pizza party.

Hmmm, so you don't know who I am, but you guessed my school correctly right away. Suspicious. I asked my well placed sources (who answer their email very quickly) who described you as a 'hothead' a 'spiritless player' and added that 'his forehand needed constant readjustment, it seemed like he could never throw it right' so in light of that I'm not gonna bother with the personal insult end.
If you really feel the need to belittle people you barely know on a public forum, be my guest. Seriously, keep running your mouth, we're all getting a big laugh. The kids who were in Austin know they gave it their all this weekend, while some old washed up hothead sat in a trailer in Arkansas and stared at his dick waiting for the Summer League draft to start.

BIG DICK WHITEY IS BACK IN THE BUILDING.

So to recap:
willw is still trying to relive the ole glory days when Arkansas State was a PERENNIAL powerhouse.

mike houston is still a giant missouri puss that loves to slang that little dick around the barnyard.

endless is still trying to suck on mike's teet to get a taste of that sweet missouri milk.

AND MY GOOD FRIEND DOCTOR IS STILL SLANGING THAT COCK AROUND LIKE HE OWNS THE PLACE. doctor, you realize that you never had any relevancy and you never will right? you realize that as soon as you stopped coaching A&M they actually made regionals, and almost made nationals? THEY ONLY LOST BY 10 MY MAN, i bet it was because all of those solid fundamentals you instilled in them last year, right?

here's to you, Doctor, for continuing to try to hype the most mediocre players and teams out there. here's to you, doctor, the man that somehow managed to let a poor defenseless group of college students from college station coach them into the ground for a year! KEEP SLANGIN THAT COCK BABAY.

-BIG DICK WHITEY

ps: Jim Harrison i made the trip to austin from lincoln to check it out, and that Jake Gamsky guy was indeed just tearing it up. Where did those Motherbirds find that guy?!? What year is he, I don't see him on their roster.

Ephialtes? Is that a 300 reference, oh cool bro. Mike Houston, i googled your name, i admit it, and nothing much came up. All of my family and friends can attest to the fact that I am FAR from washed up. I have never been more successfully or romantically as I am now. I am willing to bet a small fortune that I am more successful and making more moves than you are Mike. Anyway, if you ever wanna meet and sort this out man to man just let me know. Call me, and we'll get this straightened out. Although you may find yourself regretting it. Looks like the Jazz are about to be swept, appropriately. And Mike Degnan, get a life.

With that grammar, who would doubt it?

First of all genius, you brought up the Jazz, no one else, so let's not confuse our metaphors. Secondly googling Mike Houston mostly brings up local Illinois politicians and plays I was in during High School, so I'm sure you learned plenty from that.
Thirdly if 'sort this out like a man' means fighting with our fist-hands, I'll have to decline as I use my mitts to make the 'small fortune' you'd like to bet against me that somehow you're not a sad old man picking physical fights with strangers on the internet at 9:56pm on a Monday night.
Anyways, get a life and I hope not to see you in Boulder where the future of this awesome sport will be both on the fields and on the sidelines showing people like you why we love what we do. A+M will be back playing awesome disc next year and probably piling up the All-Region awards you call 'meaningless.' Those awards are a recognition from one's peers of the best players in any given year, so they're far from meaningless. What is meaningless is that they'll give any old hack access to the internet these days. Turn the Fox News back on and step away from the laptop grandpa.

Here are a couple of my thoughts as a spectator this weekend:

-Congrats to Mamabird and TUF. They were the best 2 teams out there and it showed. The Mickle/Driscoll matchup was hella fun to watch.
-Quit bashing on all these schools, especially to you asshats that didn't even show up. A&M played an unbelievably hard game against Kansas in their 2nd-to-last game. I didn't stick around for the GTG but I knew Texas would win because AM gave it their all in the game before. Props to AM for doing as well as they did.
-Making comments like, "oh shit we knew these would be the 2 teams to come out why do we even play regionals now adays blah blah," clearly shows you didn't read the scores or watch the games. Mamabird beat Texas by a couple of breaks from some pretty bad turnovers from TUF. Cool. So they won. Texas beat AM by 2 and Arkansas by 2. It's not like they came out and these 2 teams rolled the region. So many games this weekend were decided by a very slim margin as evidenced on score reporter. So don't act like they rolled through the region. They didn't. The close games were fantastic to watch so thanks to all the teams that played for that.
-Dalton from A&M was indeed the best freshman that played this weekend. His athleticism makes it tough for the offense to get open and he plays terrific D. With that being said, note the absence of Texas State in contention on Sunday. They can't fill the large hole that losing Austin Walker left them with. His athleticism may trail Dalton by a bit, but his decision-making and throws far exceed any other freshman in the region.
-Darius Tse should get your all-region votes. He's a stud.
-Kevin Christian megged Jimmy Mickle, so he should be your shoe-in for Callahan. (Also on that note props to OU for taking 7 guys, ignoring the bullshit a lot of your team left you with, and coming out and winning a couple of games. Everyone there would agree that playing savage under the Texan sun would suck, so props for going all out and getting some W's.)

-Final comment: Our entire sideline called the final play for AM/Kansas on universe where Bennett started on the sideline, Dalton called injury after the D, and Bennett came on as A&M put in the winning point. Many lols were had. Very savvy veteran move there.

Again congrats to Mama and TUF. Do work at natties.

Does anyone who was at the fields have an objective opinion on who deserves all-region nods?

All region... and I didn't get to watch everyone. But if I had to pick 7 players from the teams I saw play
Mickle - Colorado
Gamsky - Colorado
Driscoll - tuff
Berry hidaka - kansas
Matt francis - Missouri
Matt costello - a&m
Aditya - Tuff

I picked most of these people based on their defense. There were other great players out there but I think these are the most solid and more importantly all around studs. Our region had a ton of great players. And the second team will be sick as Shit too.

Matt Bennett #2 a&m
