Post Green Cup Blues

The Green Cup will now have the names of 6 different teams etched on it

It was quite a weekend and now another epic Green Cup is history.  Some quick results.  I hope to post more about the weekend later.

Emmanuel and PT Lovern (Choas #3) took game one of the Green Cup final 15-12.  JF Lemieux and Ben Rochon took game 2 15-12.  At 3-0 (JF and Ben) in game 3 and after using up all their time-outs PT Lovern and Emmanuel had to scratch out due Emmanuel’s cramps.  It’s really too bad because the players were putting on a defensive clinic and the match was on it’s way to meeting expectations set by last years final.

Alexis Deschenes/Francios Pelletier won the bronze over Yves Archambault and Luc Legault in straight sets.

The highlights of finals day was the semi-final between Lus/Yves and Emmanuel/PT which went the distance with many epic exchanges.

The Singles championship is JF Lemieux’s over Greg Lima in straight sets.  The mixed title goes to PT Lovern/Jody Welch over JF Lemieux/Lisa Monti Vu in straight sets.

It was another cold but exciting afternoon in Oakland - day 2 at The Green Cup.

Who’s going to the show?  The matches are set and you can check out the schedule for details.

The weather forecast for Monday calls for somewhat warmer temperature and maybe even some sun come time for The Green Cup Match.

See you there.

Sun Dance

Chaos thanks the supporters of The Green Cup!  We have several and I’ll note them all before weekend’s end.  For now, here are a couple.  Please support those who support us.

Prokicker is the official footbag or The Green Cup.

Lagunitas provides some of the finest brew in the world for us to turn into cash or consume at our discretion .

The weather report isn’t pretty.  Perfect for visibiity but difficult to stay warm in.  Everyone do a sun dance for this afternoon and Monday and we should be alright.

Day One at the 6th edition of The Green Cup

A small sport that plays big in one of the biggest little cities in the world.  We’ve got a van and a driver to get the East Bay folks to the city tonight.  The party starts at Zeitgeist and continues tomorrow in what we hope to be a warmer Oaktown day.

We have a record number of players - 30 open singles and 21 open teams in the net division.  We are also hosting many freestylers although I heard, not confirmed, most are here to shred and 6 are competing.  Of course, one of the competitors is David Clavens so the show quality is guaranteed.

We saw no major upsets in the Green Cup division, although Chaos #2 (Jack Harris) and Chaos #25 (Jeremy Mirken) won their pool over Chaos #7 (Tuan Vu) and Gilles Demers of Montreal, QE.

Singles is where the surprises came today.  Renaud Fanoni defeated Luc Legault, both from Montreal, in a match that went the distance.  Francois Pelletier defeated Yves Archambault, also both from Montreal, in the quarterfinals.  Yves had match point in game 3 with the score 10-8 but could not convert.  Francois eventually prevailed 12-10.  We also have our first Frenchman in the semi-finals.  Congratulations to Greg Lima, from Paris, who defeated Gilles Demers, of Montreal, in a 3 game match to get the semifinals in the open singles category.

In mixed doubles The Machine, Jody Welch and Chaos #3 (PT Lovern), dispatched of their competition efficiently if not impressively to reach the final.  Jody’s setting was spot on as usual and PT put on a spiking clinic.  We only have 3 teams competing in mixed doubles but they put on a good show to wrap up day one - playing a round robin with the 2 best records advancing for the title match.  Lisa Monti Vu and JF Lemieux will face PT and Jody once again for the title after defeating Alexander Smirnov and Julia Tikhomirova in 2 games.

Tomorrow is day 2 and we’ll decide who goes to the show.  On tap is the round of 16 and quarter finals in doubles net, singles net thru the semi-finals, consolation singles, mixed doubles championship, and the freestyle finals.  We’ll also host a novice/pro match as the climax of net before the freestyle finals.

Last but not least, we played the novice division today and here are the result.  I’ll try to get the full names ASAP.  Congratulations to our new net players!

1. DC/ Gordon
2. Brian / Kim
3. Alex / Jeff Mudd
4. Abram Santana / Jeff Overbo
