Before Shannon laps me with another Flatballers write-up from Riot's off-season forays into the world of basketball, I figured I should at least create a placeholder for the Nationals write-up that I am working on.  Sorry to disappoint those of you who clicked on this link ready to devour a full recap!  The tournament's scores shouldn't be news to anyone (in case you missed it, we lost 13-15 in the finals to Fury), but I will leave you with a few stats to tide you over until the full story is told...

Long story short: Riot went 4-0 in pool play on Saturday to punch our ticket to Sarasota with an assured bid to the USA Ultimate Club Championships.  On Sunday we faced Fury in the finals, playing for the #1 seed at Nationals, but we were unable to overcome a 4-9 deficit and lost 13-15.  We then had to play the 2/3 placement game against Traffic where we also went down early and couldn't fight our way back out of the hole, losing 11-14.

NW Regionals! - Oct 1-2

There's something uniquely special about Northwest Regionals.  Every year is different as the location, weather, format, and bids-on-the-line change, but the energy and intensity that the tournament generates is always there each season.  I can still remember getting my first layout D at NW Regionals my rookie year in the club scene and playing in a tight game-to-go is one of the most compelling situations in the sport today for players and spectators alike. I'm so excited that it's finally here!

Riot extended its 2011 winning streak to 21 games straight by going 6-0 at this past weekend's Virginia Fusion. It was a tournament full of building team chemistry and showcasing great play for the small, tight-knit roster that was able to make the trip out East.
