The 2010 Green Cup Presented by Chaos - code name Tahoe

This ain't Lake Merrit yo

The Chaos Footbag Club is pleased to announce that the 2010 Green Cup Presented by Chaos will be held in beautiful South Lake Tahoe on July 24th and 25th, 2010.

This will, no doubt, be an epic Chaos event.

We elected these dates in order to provide a pre-Worlds tournament that will draw the World’s top talent.  Players will try to improve their world ranking heading into the World Championships, which begin the following weekend in Oakland, California

The location will show off some of the most scenic areas California has to offer; provide for some high altitude training; and allow you to relax and prepare for 2010’s biggest event.

Black Monday: Phoenix 2010

Chaos Domination Tour

Chaos #25 and his loot from the fiery Phoenix

Once again Amy hosted a great net event in Arizona (Thanks Amy!).  The field was small but deep, with players from Memphis, Oakland, San Francisco and Portland.  While the rest of the country was deluged with rain and snow, a patch of sun opened up over Phoenix for the season’s first throw-down.

Sunday was an exhausting day of doubles competition: Pools, Quarters and Semis.  The first semi-final was a re-match of last year’s finalists.  This time Chaos prevailed over Chaos/NPR in 2 sets.  The second semi-final was a Chaos vs. Memphis matchup.  Memphis surprised everyone, dragging Chaos’ finest into a 3rd set.  As the sun set over the arid desert, PT and Eric pulled down their blast shields and forced their way to victory.

Thus the doubles final was a repeat of last week’s tourney in Oakland:  Jeremy Mirken and Jack Harris vs. PT Lovern and Eric Wulff.  In a shocking coincidence, all four players showed up Monday wearing the same outfit, a variation on the ‘little black cocktail dress’.  PT and Eric pulled to an early lead in the first game, but Jack and Jeremy fought their way back, ultimately defeating the #1 seed in 2 sets.

In singles Chris Siebert and Jeremy Mirken battled it out in 3 sets.  Jeremy took the first set, but Chris dug in and ultimately prevailed.  Grueling, brutal, exhausting.  Need I say more?  Chaos is pushing for rally scoring (no side-outs) for singles only at tournaments.  Think about it.

Doubles Results:
Jack Harris / Jeremy Mirken
PT Lovern / Eric Wulff
Chris Siebert / Tuan Vu
Walt Houston / Ben Alston

Singles Results:
Chris Siebert
Jeremy Mirken
Walt Houston
Jack Harris

Other Highlights:
Walt and Ben are on the verge of cracking the top ranks.  In pool play they took Jeremy and Jack to 3 sets, then repeated that feat in their semi-final against PT and Eric.

Sucky Brad has arrived on the singles scene (look out ladies!).  Mr. Williams pulled an upset in his pool, and later defeated Ben Alston in the first consolation round.  Max points were once again awarded to our very own boy toy.

Despite all the hype, their was no nipple exchange between Walt and Jeremy.  Jeremy was rebuffed on a technicality, and the Suckremony’s MC Sucky Brad was left holding the mic.

Patrick & Florian - World Champions Once Again!

The first live streaming world footbag championships final was mostly successful.  It was taken off the air for 2nd half of game 2 and 1st half of game 3.  Reason?  Unknown to me.  Still, I got to watch it live on my big screen.

It was not a classic like their first meeting last summer but a pretty damn good match.  A descent come back in game 3, after being down 6-9, lent itself to some drama for the home crowd.

Flo and Patti have their 3rd World Championship in 4 years!!!!  They won 2 games to 1 over PT and Manu.

Congratulations to both teams and thx for the show!!!
