Frisbee Update

Posted by on October 28 at 17:33 PM

Seattle’s world-champion ultimate Frisbee teams are rocking the Ultimate Player’s Association tournament in Sarasota, Florida. Sockeye, Riot, and Shazam (our men’s, women’s, and coed teams) have returned to defend their titles at the biggest tournament in North America, held on bucolic polo grounds. On Thursday, all three teams dominated, with Riot handing Zanzara (from Houston, TX) a crushing 15-4 loss. Friday was less kind to Shazam, which lost to Olio (Triangle Area, NC) and Brass Monkey (Bay Area, CA). Shazam will not advance to the championship bracket, but Riot and Sockeye are advancing to Saturday’s championship games without a loss. Riot is the weekend’s only undefeated women’s team. Sockeye is undefeated—but so is arch-rival Jam (Bay Area, CA).

The championship games are on Saturday. Seattle has already lost its coed trophy—will it keep the other two? Stay tuned…
