OTTAWA MASTERS RULE AT NATIONALS:
In another glorious 4-day weekend of Ultimate in Montreal
(...actually, it's St-Jean-sur-le-Richelieu; a suburb 20
minutes south of Montreal ), one issue was abundantly clear;
Ottawa seems to have a lock on Old Farts clinging to their
youth by playing Ultimate in the Masters Division.
The 98 National Masters title came down to an all Ottawa final
between DEAD and Wuz Mule (... a sordid alliance between Wuz
Wax and Smell My Mule).
After a sorry spanking in the round-robin, DEAD was eager for
a rematch. After surprising Alberta's "Relics" in the semi-
final, DEAD was ready for MULE which coasted past Montreal's
"Primitive" in their semis.
In a wind-filled final, DEAD took the half 8-6 and waited in
anticipation to receive with the wind at their back in the
second half. Not to be outdone, Mule scored the up-winder
and tied it 8-8 on the next point.
In the end, DEAD couldn't quite hang on and bowed to Mule 15-10.
So, having won this division in '96 (DEAD), '97 (Mule) and
'98 (Mule), it's quite clear that Ottawa Masters are
unquestionably king of the geriatric huckers !
************************************************************
A MOTHRA VIEW OF NATIONALS:
(Be sure to ask the bugs about their naked point when you
see them at the party!)
Hey Ding,
I don't know if you've heard yet, but WE ROCK! Ottawa, that
is. Both Stella and WAX won!! And Was Mule took the masters
title defeating DEAD in the final. The juniors finished 4th.
You may remember that the women got spanked by GOO in their
pool game 13-3. They played a huck game and the same chick
apparently came down with all the points.
But on that fateful Sunday morn' when I drug may sorry ass
from the bed, I saw Stella's destiny -- there was wind in
them there trees! I had a feeling that the wind would create
some havoc for the GOO women when they offered up the disc
for a long flight, and because Stella plays a solid short
game, I figured things may be weighted in their favour.
Ironically enough, it was pretty even until STELLA started
throwing long to get the disc off of their end zone line.
Worked like a charm. They didn't always complete the pass,
but they were able to get the D midfield and start putting
more points on the board.
The WAX game was fun to watch. Lots of good playing all
around. Paul Chambers played awesome, but they gave the MVP
to Chris Sullivan. Chris, when accepting the trophy, said,
"He's gonna beat me up," referring to Paul Chambers.
Nikki got the MVP for the women. Perhaps they should have
given it to the GOO chick who threw a 30 yard (no exaggeration)
SCOOBER from her endzone line to an open popper across the
field and over Stella's zone defence. That was incredible.
Andre.
PS. All the games including the finals were soft capped.
And we got the bid for next years Nationals. (!!!)

FALL LEAGUE '98 - REGISTRATION INFORMATION:
Registration Dates: Sept. 1st - 11th ( by e-mail )
Season Starts:
Sunday Sept. 13th
Ends:
Either Oct. 31st or Nov. 7th
(Approx. number of games 10-12)
Season ending party @ Cave on Nov. 7th.
LEAGUE FEES: $300.00*
*P.R.O.U.F. has raised the fees from $200.00 to $300.00 this
year with the intention of supporting O.C.U.A in their 'land
purchase/Irrigation instalment'. The extra $100.00 increase
will be used to support these projects. (If you feel strongly
about this increase please call me and I will be glad to
listen your objections)
LEVELS OF PLAY: There will be two levels of play this year.
Teams will rise or fall according to their play. i.e. If you
keep winning you will be scheduled against other teams that
are doing equally as well. The same if you don't fair so well
in games, you will meet other teams that are also being
outclassed. ( I'm trying to eliminate 'blowouts' as they are
no fun for either team) To achieve this there will be NO FIXED
SCHEDULE at the first of the season. Two reasons for this 1)
I never know when my lit fields will come available ( other
sports are finishing up their summer season in Sept.) 2)
Gives me a chance to shuffle teams into better games mid-
season. Don't worry everything will be done by e-mail and you
will know in plenty of time.
How many games are there each week?
Teams will play one possibly two games a week in Sept.
(field availability) and two games a week in October. {There
will be one weeknight game (under the lights) and one weekend
game (Afternoon).}
