Congratulations to the UC Irvine Eaters who have made the roster for their respective club teams for the 2010 season.

LA Metro (SoCal Sectionals Champs, Regionals Runners up, 11th place finish at Nationals)*
-Enway Hsu (3rd season)
-Hammie Chen (3rd season)
Metro returns over 3/4 of it's squad but only 3 women, including Enway. After winning Sectionals on universe point, and taking 2nd at Regionals, the Metroids look to make a return to Sarasota and improve on their surprising 11th place finish. The journey starts at GRUB in Colorado where they will see Regionals rivals Barrio and the retooled Operation
Kapow. The roster will be finalized this upcoming weekend with practices starting right thereafter.
San Diego Safari (SoCal Sectionals Champs, 3rd place finish at Regionals, 12th place finish at Nationals)*
-Iris Leung (2nd season)
-Annie Ngo (2nd season)
-Melissa Spalding (1st season)
Safari is ready to make another run at Nationals despite losing many players to Knockout and the Mixed division. They have a solid core of ladies that have plenty of experience and will again have to do battle against Rare Air and possibly the Lady Condors (if it happens), to qualify. Iris and Annie have both improved immensely during their past season here with the Grass Ninjas and look for these two to be solid role players on this team who will be crucial to Safari's success. Melissa is a great addition to the team in that she brings speed and athleticism to the cutting core. Despite it being her first year or so playing, she will learn so much from Safari and I know will develop into a baller player for the crew from San Diego.
San Diego Street Gang (SoCal Sectionals Runner-up, Regionals Runners-up, 15th place finish at Nationals)*
-Allen Lai (1st season)
-Evan Valdez (1st season)
I am so proud of these two guys. They have worked very hard to get where they are and have been rewarded for their efforts with roster spots on Southern California's best open team (atleast for now). Allen and Evan both bring a lot of speed and experience to this already veteran roster and will play important roles in their huck-heavy offense. After a heartbreaking loss in the finals at Sectionals and a somewhat disappointing show at Sarasota despite a very surprising and impressive win over Boston's Ironside, Street Gang has retooled their roster and look to do some damage late into the season. They will face their rivals the Condors, and Johnny Bravo(?), but I have these guys winning the Region this year, if their top players can stay healthy.
----
Good luck on the season and hopefully we'll throw the zot-zot-zot at the Polo Fields in late-October.

Progression of UC Irvine Ultimate
As the case in most sports, it is really cool to see how a team progresses as the years go by. I've only been playing on an organized team since 2005, 2006ish, and have been part of many teams, most notably UC Irvine, LA Metro, and Frorida/City Wok.
I guess this post is more for my own enjoyment as to see how teams I've been a part of have progressed and morphed into what they are today. I'll talk about UC Irvine today. Metro and Frorida will come another time.
The progression made was not only in numbers, but also in level of play. I believe this was the first year we began running serious practices with strategy and white board sessions. We established a Vertical Stack offense and despite such "organization," we still played a very loose style of ultimate with hammers and gratuitous layouts being very obvious. Our "HUGE" win was over UCLA-B on double game point in the consolation bracket.

I guess this post is more for my own enjoyment as to see how teams I've been a part of have progressed and morphed into what they are today. I'll talk about UC Irvine today. Metro and Frorida will come another time.
University of California, Irvine
'04: Urban Sprawl
'05-'06: Bone

'06-'07: ICU
'07-present: NightLife
'07-present: NightLife
The names we've flown by over the years already demonstrates the progression that this young program has had in the past. In a previous post, I talked about the very beginnings of UCI Ultimate.
It started out in 2003 with several grad students. The first undergrads began to trickle in and a team was formed. We flew under "Urban-Sprawl" and from video, you can see that our play was not very high level and we did not qualify for Regionals. One [suspension] year later, we begin anew with a new freshmen class and the team name, "Bone."
The progression made was not only in numbers, but also in level of play. I believe this was the first year we began running serious practices with strategy and white board sessions. We established a Vertical Stack offense and despite such "organization," we still played a very loose style of ultimate with hammers and gratuitous layouts being very obvious. Our "HUGE" win was over UCLA-B on double game point in the consolation bracket.
Winning over Smaug-B to us back then (ranked #238 in the nation) was like winning Nationals. It's very trivial to look back and see that win as such a huge accomplishment, but I still remember the rush of winning and the joy my teammates and I shared as we celebrated our qualifying for our first ever Regionals, taking the last qualifying spot behind UCSD-B.
2008-2009 saw another landmark, with the first permanent coaching figure at UCI. Under the direction of KG who served as a captain as well as a primary coach, the new team saw it's first rebuilding year as well with the graduation of literally the starting 7 from the '07-'08 campaign. 2009-2010 was another breakthrough with the formation of the first ever UCI B-team, in addition to full-time coaches coaching both the A and B squads.
It is scary to think that after my graduation from the program, there were thoughts that UCI would not survive the next several years, but through th determination of the players, coaches, and alumni, the program is gaining steam and had progressed from mediocrity to a competitive team that is expected to compete with the best in the Region. In addition, Irvine Ultimate is represented on local Elite Club teams such as LA Metro, Monster, Strike-Slip, Street Gang, and Safari by current players and alumni alike. To see Irvine players holding their own on their respective teams is very encouraging in addition to seeing them make crucial plays and not simply ride the bench.
The progression of the Men's program also translated into the establishing and growth of the UCI Women's program, the Grass Ninjas, coached by Allen Lai, this team started out as "Pink Posse" in 2006-2007, not knowi
ng much about the game, and now has morphed into a team with 20+ players, qualifying for Regionals and showing positive signs of growth and player development.
ng much about the game, and now has morphed into a team with 20+ players, qualifying for Regionals and showing positive signs of growth and player development.At this juncture, we have players playing on National level teams in Safari, Metro, and San Diego. These players all play big roles on their respective teams and can be seen contributing on all levels of the game. I had a friend once say to me that it is "easy to spot an Ultimate player who went to UCI." Apparently we all throw the same way and can handle. Irvine's players are slowly making themselves known in the area. It is very encouraging to see our players getting recognized on the club level and even taking up leadership roles in the Los Angeles Ultimate community.
Additionally, Irvine has become a "farm" system for local club teams such as Monster that have recruited Irvine players the past 3 years or so. Despite the somewhat absence of club ultimate in SoCal, Irvine players are starting to put their fingerprints on the teams. Hopefully in the future more players from NightLife and the Grass Ninjas will play important roles on club teams, and/or possibly start up new club teams in the area.
On-field play aside, the culture of Irvine Ultimate is something to behold. The Women's and Men's teams are one cohesive bunch, hanging out with each other all the time, throwing with each other, and practicing with each other. Not many schools get that luxury of having both programs work so closely together and as the years go by, I hope that this is something that won't soon fade from Irvine's Ultimate culture. The video below simply shows that despite the sport that holds us together, Ultimate in Irvine is all about the players and the people. Smiles all around. I love this program. So proud to be an alumni.
zot zot zot!

Cal-States 2010 Mixed Wrap-Up
So go ahead and ignore the post I made with the pools. Slug Ultimate sent out an email with that set-up but it was altered upon arriving at the fields. Instead of a pool with AIR, TWSS, and Classy, we were put in a pool with CTR, Classy, and Dutch Rudder. The schedule had it where the 1 seed and 2 seeds in each respective pool were playing each other first round on Saturday. Which I am honestly not a fan of.
(Note: Cal States did not have anything online regarding scores or pools so this is really just me trying to recollect everything so don't get upset if the score is off).
First round vs. CTR
Came out FLAT. CTR was a talented group of players from the Bay Area. The easy excuse for us in the performance we had the first half would have been that we were trying out new players, but the truth was that we didn't come prepared. People were late, people weren't mentally ready, and we just came out playing tentative and were trying to be "too cute" with the disc rather than power it/move it like we knew we could. We went down 12-5 with CTR simply out-matching us, with the majority of the turnovers being on our miscues. After recollecting ourselves, we began to go on a little bit of a run and actually pulled it to 11-12 after a 6-0 run. However; the run was stopped at 6 and CTR scored the winning goal to win 13-11. Despite the loss, we had our heads up as we definitely brought it the second half and knew that if we hadn't spotted them such a huge lead, we would be right there with them.
Round 2 vs. Classy
Much better play this game with a lot of good disc movement. Last time we played Classy, we got ourselves down in a hole of 1-9 as a #1 seed in Chico. It was terrible and although the game was pretty much decided after 5 points, we continued to push and ran away with the game 13-5(?)-ish. Much better movement, much better decision making led to a much better result.
Round 3 vs. Dutch Rudder
Again, we carried our momentum into this third game and won the game within the first half. We were executing very well and our new recruits were definitely bringing their game, especially the new women who were simply outclassing the opposition in terms of speed, agility, and throwing. Showed us that our play wasn't simply a fluke and that we were able to be consistent in our level of play. Metro over Dutch Rudder 13-6(?)
Pre-Quarters vs. That's What She Said (TWSS)
Since we placed second in our pool, we were not granted a bye into Quarters but had to play TWSS in Pre-Quarters. We came out on fire in the first half with great play by our returning guys in addition to hard harassing defense that generated many turns. I believe we only turned it once in the first half to take a 7-1 or 7-2 lead into half, but kind of let up afterwards, but still winning by a wide margin. I was not pleased with the fact that after we took half, people got distracted, watching other games, screwing around, etc. etc. I know it was an early tournament and we were up big, but the poise begins now. The experience is gained now. Our team has a history of focus issues after generating leads and we didn't capitalize on an opportunity to stay disciplined and focused. Lessoned learned.
End of Saturday
--------
Quarterfinals vs. (#1)Polar Bears
As I stated in the preview, Polar Bears were the logical #1 seed for this tournament and despite winning their pool, teams that played them said that they struggled a bit in the early going but I am more than sure that their early round struggles were similar to ours in trying out new players, and getting things back into gear. This was a 10:30am start for us and was the featured game after a very great Wolf vs. Condors battle in which the storied club team from Santa Barbara upset Wolf on Double Game point. We were warming up on sidelines and right when that game was over, it was 7 on, ready to go.
Polar came out strong and quickly got a break on us. We had some bad miscues that resulted in turnovers in our own red-zone which (with their throwers) led to easy break scores. After that first break, we managed to break back at around 5's, but quickly lost that break right after half. It was 9-10, with Polar Bears generating a red-zone turnover again and calling time/out to set up a play. This proved to be the turning point in the game with our defense holding the line and Yugo making a very smart and timely poach D. [Insert Transition/fast break offense here] Before we knew it we had worked it down the field on the fast break and scored to tie it at 10's. Big swing of momentum and later on after a couple near breaks for us, we punched in a break to take the lead.
That ultimately led to Universe point, with Metro going up-wind on offense. A lot of people had begun crowding to watching this game, and the final point did not disappoint. We had a stellar line out against their best defensive line and after some calm disc work, Keegan hucks up a break-side backhand huck to Barrs who goes up high and wins the 50/50 for the dgp win. It was a good win for us and we showed a lot of grit and a lot of heart even on the brink of being down two breaks late. Defense won us that game... albeit it was great defense after an offensive turnover. We took a lot from this game, and knew that these adjustments would need to be worked on over the course of the season if we wanted to step up higher into that Elite level of play during the Series.
On another note, I think the mentality was pretty good for the last point. Most of our team had no idea it was dgp until it was over (myself included), and if you think about it, DGP is like any other point really,. Great win for us... and we were "rewarded" with a bye before Semi-finals.
Semifinals vs. A.I.R.
This was a battle. Both teams were very balanced but I felt like AIR integrated their women into their game plan a lot better than we did. We began to fall back into some of our habits and found ourselves down a bit and it was a "trade-points until we ran out of time" scenario. We couldn't generate a break and even times we'd get a turn, we couldn't punch it in, or we'd turn it right back. It was a very intense game and to their credit, AIR has really taken that extra step since the last time we played them in 2009. They have solid throwers, very dangerous deeps, and their women held their own and were very effective. AIR wins 13-11 to advance to Finals vs. Mischief.
3rd place game vs. FunK
In typical Metro fashion, we spotted the team 3 points before rallying back to force DGP at 11's. We fought hard but there were some moments where we just let golden opportunities slip by. They were a solid group of players that matched up well against our crew, but as the heat continued to increase, fatigue definitely became a factor in this game. Early season, no one is quite in shape and it showed as we had some uncharacteristic drops, and some untimely mental lapses. It was a well fought game and we were proud of ourselves after this one with our 4th place finish.
---
In all, it was a great tournament for us. We got to see our new recruits show off their abilities and to really get a sense of how our team would be this year and quite frankly, it's looking a lot better than in years previous. Our next tournament is not for another month, so after finalizing our roster within the next weeks, we will be practicing full-time to get ready for GRUB in Colorado. Just wanted to say that everyone played well and all the try-outs were ballers and that the decisions to trim our team to a final roster will be difficult.
Other Notable Results:
Our sister-team from Los Angeles, 7-Figures, also played well this weekend with a DGP win over Polar Bears and a solid showing. Their women were running circles around players and they look poised to do a lot of damage in the very competitive mixed Southwest Region.
Wolf was upset by the Condors in Quarters on double game point. I watched the majority of this game and the Condors played a very sound team-oriented offense. Of course there were the huge bombs put up by Arbiter to a streaking receiver... but other than that, it was a very good win for the Condors who surprised a lot of people with this win.
Open Finals were between Revolver and Street Gang. All weekend these two teams had simply been rolling but the finals was clearly a mismatch with Street Gang's deep game simply not being effective enough against the athletic and skilled Revolver team. The hucks that were hitting receivers open by 15 yards for Street Gang in earlier rounds began to float into 50/50's as the wind picked up. it was a one-sided affair with Revolver pulling away 15-6 for the tournament win.

Cal States 2010 Mixed Preview
It's hard to imagine that this will be my third Cal States tournament in beautiful Santa Cruz, CA. The past three years have all been with my current team, LA Metro, and we have finished 2nd, and 3rd in '08 and '09 respectively. It's no question why this year we want to come out with guns blazing and to really start this season off on the right foot.
-----
The big story with the coed scene in 2010 (again), is the emergence of the (#1)Polar Bears as the new powerhouse team in the Northwest. Their core group of LPC alumni really work well together and have shown flashes of brilliance that indicate that this team is for real. On top of being a bunch of class-acts (finals vs. Ambush), they know the game well, incorporate their baller women seamlessly, and have really been taking the coed scene by storm as of late with 2nd place finishes at Lei-Out and SB Classic, and a DUI tournament win back in early April. That said, it comes at no surprise that they are the #1 seed at this year's tournament with Mischief, LA Metro, and BCBC, rounding out the rest of the top seeds.
(#2)Mischief is a perennial favorite to make it to the big show but last year was (correct me if I'm wrong), the first time they haven't made it since '05. They continually bring a roster that has experience and more than enough ability, as we haven't been able to beat them in over 2 years. This is really the first real look at Mischief for us, the last one at DUI, but I am more than sure that the brought a streamlined squad that didn't fare well. The Northwest knows how to play frisbee. I expect a very strong showing for them.
(#3)Metro is bringing a strong squad this year that is a lot younger than years in the past. The idea hinges on building up the college players in the LA area as the "future" for LA Ultimate. In a previous post, I stated that LA Ultimate's mentality and attitude was not conducive for promoting future growth, so where better to start than in the college ranks. This is our final tryout tournament and after this tournament our roster will be streamlined some more and eventually finalized. We're proud to be the top team representing Southern California and hope we can hold our own against the powerful Northwest Region.
:::NEWSFLASH::: (#4)BCBC had tryouts at SB Classic! That in itself is already a huge step in this 3 year team, as it pretty much had been an invite only team in 08 and 09. They have all the pieces to being sucessfull with strong women, skilled handlers and athletic cutters. Their only kink does tend to also somehow become their strength in that they never know their tourney roster until the day before. Sometimes it works in their favor, sometimes not. Rumor has it that the are actually practicing this season and should show improvement because of it.
-----
Cal States is arguably the best early-season tournament on the West Coast. It brings a majority of the Norcal and SoCal powers together on the best fields (in terms of location), I have ever played on. It's a great tournament to play at, in addition to being able to go home for a weekend and see my folks. Safe travels to everyone making the trip up north. Rock on!
