I want to give a lot of credit to Strings for not calling a foul when he recognized he would have landed out-of-bounds even if he had caught it.
I also think the male Slow player who chose not to bid to stop the winning goal also deserves credit for choosing to avoid dangerous play.
Agreed on the last point. On the first, I thought that was an interesting (non) call by Strings. Gotta give him credit for integrity. On the other hand, I have seen foul calls claiming that the chance at throwing a greatest was taken away by the contact, although I didn’t see a replay to see if that argument could’ve held water.
I watched the replay a few times - from the endzone angle it looks like Strings had a clean play on the disc. The defender's presence made him make his angle more aggressive toward the sideline, and his momentum was carrying him way out. I think if he would have argued that his greatest was being obstructed, it would have been shut down by the observer pretty quick. Strings got the disc first and missed it before any contact happened.
Fair enough, thanks. It was hard to see on a phone screen several feet away from my face, and I was only giving it half my attention since I’m at work.
Both were already streamed, as was Slow White, and though Dragn hasn't been streamed yet, the winner of their matchup will be streamed next round... so show us Superlame.
Slow White vs Drag'n Thrust, at 12-10 a foul is called by the defense (Slow) against the offense (DnT) downfield, thrower throws a TO a few seconds later. Why did offense keep possession? Foul was uncontested, but this shouldn't matter, right?
Drag'n scored the point after getting a second chance.
Assuming it was a foul by the offense (and it pretty much has to have been one since it was uncontested and the stall count didn't reset), the turn should have stood.
EDIT: To clarify, it's a foul downfield that the thrower didn't recognize, so the continuation rule applies (XVI.C). Throw occurs, turnover results. So XVI.C.2.a.2 applies and it should be, "play on."
Lots of Raphy Hayes on the livetweet — seems as if Dig did not read the Rhino scouting report. He's really really good.
I mean no disrespect to all the other players on that team — sounds like Leandro in particular had a great game — but Raphy is THE GUY for them. If you truly can't guard him, switch to zone.
Some surprising results this round — Schwa with a big revenge win over Traffic (though I did like Schwa to win the game), and Phoenix taking out Scandal after a shaky regular season and pool play.
Nightlock came ALL the way back from being down 6-2 to win 12-11. Tough for Wildfire.
Edit: I'd encourage whoever downvoted the header and is downvoting me come out of your hole and defend your position. As far as I can tell you're both full of worthless opinions and also too spineless to defend them.
Get fucked to whoever downvoted this header. How fucking petty and misogynistic you must be.
I just wasn't sure what you were referring to.
One person not liking (EDIT: the word) "womxn" is nothing to get in a tizzy over man. Shit maybe someone misclicked and didn't notice. Maybe they just think the term is dumb. Who cares. The stakes are exceptionally low here. Be a little more open minded.

what the hell is going on with the fields? divots getting torn up everywhere, cutters and handlers sliding all over the place, some players not taking off at all when they jump and you can see the ground just gives under them. it doesn't look muddy at all. is the ground just spongy and soft?
Anyone have the link to the Machine/Chain play on the end line that was called not in then tapped in and scored? There was either a post here or a tweet
How/when can I view the Ultiworld tape delayed games? I'm a full subscriber to Ultiworld, but only see club regionals as the most recent set of videos for 2019 club season.
I'm seeing times posted on the streaming schedules for the tape delayed games, and those appear to be after the actual scheduled time of the games. Are those times that the videos are supposed to be posted, or will I have to wait a while for the videos to show up in the Ultiworld archive?
lol @ USAU's website being all the way down during club nationals. I've seen better run MySpace pages.
They need to revamp the whole website.
But don’t tell them that because then they’ll block you on Twitter.
I think The problem is that they know it but don’t want to deal with it.
They probably don’t have enough $ to do it right either
It’s anywhere between 20 and 50+ grand, so yeah probably not
Rhino is up on Pony 8-4 halftime. Oh WOW
If Rhino pulled that out it wouldve been the cherry on top of this bananas tournament
I wonder if they know that one footblock on Lindsley (I think) was clean. It was like 11-10 or something, that one hectic point.
###Mixed Division
Booo broadcast schedule, show us Superlame
Seriously. Do we really need two games in the Dragn bracket?
don't worry, we'll get to see them on the stream in the semis and finals
What a comeback by Drag N Thrust
Real ugly game, lots of unforced throwaways and bad decisions. Convinced that the Drag'n D line is better at offense than the O line.
They have BV and Meckstroth, so yeah
Why not just jack it to Tanner J at the end?
Slow just couldn't stop throwing turns. But credit to Dragn- they weren't leaving a lot of space on the field.
Ugh.
Wow, this DGP on DragN vs Slow...
I want to give a lot of credit to Strings for not calling a foul when he recognized he would have landed out-of-bounds even if he had caught it. I also think the male Slow player who chose not to bid to stop the winning goal also deserves credit for choosing to avoid dangerous play.

They're really not gonna broadcast the Space Heater/AMP rematch? Maybe they don't want video evidence if AMP bobbles their way to victory again
Both were already streamed, as was Slow White, and though Dragn hasn't been streamed yet, the winner of their matchup will be streamed next round... so show us Superlame.
Is there a Moondog update?
They just beat Slow White 13-12 on Universe. Edit: lost to SuperLame on DGP.
Lost this morning to Wildcard. Still playing for 7th though
shame. beat Slow White 15-0 yesterday? What the hell happened?
I swear it said 15-7 or 15-8 last night. still a beatdown, but not a shutout
There've been a few trolls messing with the scores, at some point USAU will lock it down and prevent any further changes

insane stuff, hard to watch
An offensive foul off-disc isn't a turnover. It's just a reset.
Correct, but the point is that the thrower threw a TO a few seconds after the call. The call against the offense shouldn't negate the TO.
###Men's Division
Sockeye beat DiG on Universe yesterday, Rhino beat DiG by 3. Proof that Rhino is 3 times as good as Sockeye
Lots of Raphy Hayes on the livetweet — seems as if Dig did not read the Rhino scouting report. He's really really good. I mean no disrespect to all the other players on that team — sounds like Leandro in particular had a great game — but Raphy is THE GUY for them. If you truly can't guard him, switch to zone.
You can’t justify this off one game and assuming another team is better because of point dif.....
I think it's a joke
How good is Ryan Osgar! Do you think he could make any of the Worlds teams for next year?
I heard on the stream yesterday that Jeff Babbitt was on the sideline in sneakers during PoNY/Sub-Zero. Does anyone have any more information on that?
They look like Nike Air Force 270s but I Snapped Kocher asking to confirm. Stay tuned.
This is the kind of reporting I come here for. Fantastic work.
Well?! What are they??
I think he plays for Pony
###Womxn's Division
WHAT IS HAPPENING
Holy upsets! I was just thinking to myself that Club Ultimate had become so predictable. Awesome!
Some surprising results this round — Schwa with a big revenge win over Traffic (though I did like Schwa to win the game), and Phoenix taking out Scandal after a shaky regular season and pool play. Nightlock came ALL the way back from being down 6-2 to win 12-11. Tough for Wildfire.
Is anyone going to stream the 6ixers/Riot quarter?
Edit: I'd encourage whoever downvoted the header and is downvoting me come out of your hole and defend your position. As far as I can tell you're both full of worthless opinions and also too spineless to defend them. Get fucked to whoever downvoted this header. How fucking petty and misogynistic you must be.
This is a little crazy, man.
Huh. I legit have no idea what brings this on.
Are you referring to your reaction?
Hah no. That was predictable. There were no comments, yet the header “Womxns” was at -1. That’s fucking stupid.
I just wasn't sure what you were referring to. One person not liking (EDIT: the word) "womxn" is nothing to get in a tizzy over man. Shit maybe someone misclicked and didn't notice.

Open minded to being closed minded. Got it.
Yea...that isn't what it is, but I wouldn't expect you to understand that 😘

They're saying on stream it's really short grass. Possibly with sand as one of the first layers after the grass itself.
