Washington Area Frisbee Club

The Savage Seven tournament will be held as planned this Saturday (6/19) at Lake Fairfax. Games will start at 9am. The format is being worked (11 teams are registered so it's somewhat of a mess) to give everyone max playing time and also the most equitable games possible. The upper and lower brackets will be combined, so anticipate some lopsided games.

If you know of anyone trying to put together a last minute team please encourage them to do so ASAP as 12 teams would be much easier to work with.

Teams may register here, http://www.wafc.org/webform/611. Registration will be kept open until about noon on June 5th. Teams will be notified later that same day if their bid is accepted/rejected. Sorry for the late opening to registration.

Savage Seven is coming up quickly (June 19th). Registration will open next week (May 10th). You will need a full roster (7 primary players with 2 alternates) in order to complete registration. The gender ratio is 5-2. There will be an upper and lower bracket. You will self select for the bracket of your choice, however, lower bracket teams may not have a high team "score". Each player will be ranked (by the captain) on experience, throws, speed, and agility. Upper bracket teams will have essentially all players in the top tier or two for each category.

August 1, 2009, 9am at Lake Fairfax. Teams that are withdrawing need to let me know ASAP so I can try to find replacement teams. Team rosters may be adjusted at the captain's discretion, just be considerate of other teams if you're in the Lower division and don't stack your roster with all stars.

Questions, email me or post a note here.

Thanks to all the teams for getting payments in quickly. We're fully paid and ready to play now. Only two weeks until the tournament.

Attached is a spreadsheet with a list of all the t-shirt sizes and stats for players. Please double check the t-shirt list, especially if you had a change after submission, I easily could have screwed up and used the wrong size. I will be submitted the t-shirt order either today or tomorrow (1st or 2nd) and I don't think I can make any changes after I submit the order.

Stats are also available, so you can see how everyone rated themselves and how the teams stack up against each other. Here's the basic info for those that don't want to open the spreadsheet.
