The 2010 World Footbag Championships

More than you’d ever need to know as a player or spectator is right here.  Errrr, or can be accessed via the links in ‘What’s Up’ above (see World Championships | WFC General Net Schedule | WFC - Everything Net).

Want to see your seed?  What pool are you in?  Who are you playing in your opening match?  It’s all there - for Sunday morning anyway.

Sunday, August 1st is Opening Day at the 31st running of The World Championships of Footbag.  At least 150 players representing 10 countries or more have arrived in Northern California and are prepared for 7 Days of competition which kicks off, sorry , Sunday morning at 9am with the first round of Open Singles Net.

What’s it all about?  If you don’t know footbag… well… it’s hard to describe in words.  Hmm, an amalgamation of martial arts and volleyball with your feet?  If you’re familiar with a sport called Takraw, it’s similar but played as doubles or singles instead of 3 per side, and the ball is much smaller.  Matches are generally the best of 3 games to 11 or 15.

Footbag?  Yes… footbag.  I know :(.

It can only best be described with visuals so embedded below is a highlight video from The Green Cup in 2008, a footbag tournament hosted by Team Chaos from the Bay Area.

All the Open players/teams are now seeded and the pools and brackets are drawn up.  We’ll try to update the status of the net competition here daily.  The ‘WFC - Everything Net’ link(s) should be useful and mostly up to date throughout the week.

Follow yourself or your favorite players, get event locations, match times, contact information, etc.

The featured matches happen on Thursday and Friday in the evening, and Saturday.

Happy New Year to all from Chaos!
