Week 6 First Frisbee Tournament

This past weekend was exciting. I finally got to experience my first full outdoor frisbee tournament. I will be recapping what happened on Saturday and Sunday at the tournament.

I am on club frisbee and we had our first tournament of the year this past weekend. The tournament was in Versailles which is an hour and a half east of Ada. On Saturday I woke up at 6am since we had to leave by 7am to get there around 8:15am-8:30am. Our first match started at 9am. We played 3 matches on Saturday which each match was around a little under 2 hours. The teams we played Saturday were Cedarville, Miami X, and Rose Hulman. Just some basic frisbee knowledge it is like football but with a disc. When you score a touchdown, it is only 1 point though. Halftime is at 8 points since the highest number of points that can be scored is 15. Our first match against Cedarville started off rough we went down 0-7. But by the time halftime rolled around the score was 4-8. We ended up losing 10-15 but For most people on our team it is their first ever competitive match and Cedarville is a really good team. They had 30 plus guys when we only had 13. Miami X destroyed us 2-15. I scored a touchdown this game.

We did not feel too bad about this since they were Miami best team. In frisbee when there is an X after a team’s name that means that’s their best team. Our last game against Rose Hulman it was a nail bitter. At halftime we were down 4-8 but came back and scored 3 points in 10 minutes to go up 10-9 in overtime. We played to 11 and we ended up losing but it was a good match.

On Sunday we had 3 more matches but we had less people. In our first match we played Cincinnati Y. They still ran through us 4-15. Playing D1 schools is tough since they have a lot of people. Our next match was against Xavier Y and this one was another barn burner. Except this time, we were up 8-5 at halftime and Xavier came back into the match. Again, we were up 10-9 and ended losing 11-10 heartbreak again. By this point we only had 9 people and we only play 1 half in our 3^rd game since we were out of energy and did not want to risk injury. That 1 half in our 3^rd game was against Miami Y and we lost the first half 2-8.

In 36 hours, I played 12 hours of frisbee. My legs on Monday were dead but I still had a ton of fun this past weekend. I can’t wait to play in more tournaments this year.

That’s it for me this week see you next week.
