My second tournament in as many weeks. I feel so lucky. Although the blisters on my heels were still raw from Thailand I felt I had to make the 4 hour bus trip to Ulsan. It was worth the trip.
It was a hat tournament with a unique structure. Saturday was a one day 5 on 5 tourney on turf fields. games were short and had a real time cap. I mean the game would end mid point when the clock hit zeros. Ties permitted in pool play, so there were some exciting last second hucks. Then Sunday was the same format, but on the beach. Your team got points depending on where you placed, but the saturday party also factored quantitatively into the overall championship with disc of beer races against the clock and flip cup tourney on the docket. My team didn't win, but I somehow walked away with touranment MVP. It was probably because I played in ski goggles to keep the sand out of my eyes.
I had a great time getting to know the members of the Korean ultimate community a little better. And I also secured my spot on a team for Korea's premiere tournament at Jeju in late April. I might not get any more frisbee until that point so I'll be looking forward to it. Also, welcome to Korea, Hightower, and I hope you'll be joining my team.
