Last weekend Edinburgh was again proud to host the it's 9th Annual Beginners tournament. We hope that all those who played had a great time and we are again confident that it has been one of the best ultimate weekends in the calender. We again had no problems filling the 32 team spaces avaliable for the largest annual indoor tournament in Britain. The results, in reverse order, follow: 32 Northen Lights 2 (Winning the Hankey of Humilliation) 31 Reservoir Fish 30 Shooting Stars 1 29 Jesters 28 El Nino 27 Far Flung 2 26 Purple Haze 2 25 Hulltimate 1 (Winning the Garden Trowl) 24 Random Fling 23 Yorkie Bar Kids 22 Jedi 1 21 Shooting Stars 2 20 Northern Lights 1 19 Far FLung 1 18 Flatball Project 17 Hulltimate 2 (Winning the Plate) 16 Jedi 3 15 Agilent 14 SWAC 13 Falling Skies 12 Stirling 11 Strange Blue 10 Phat 'Eds 2 9 Phat 'Eds 1 (Winning the Quality St Collection) 8 Jedi 2 7 Purple Haze 1 6 Mange Le Foufou 5 Ro-Sham-Bo 1 4 3 Diablo Allstars & Boogie Knights 2 Mohawks 1 Ro-Sham-Bo 2 (Winning the Tankard of Triumph) Many of the matches through out the weekend were very close and many pools had teams tied for position after all the games were completed. The Final between Mohawks and locals Ro-Sham-Bo 2 was very closley faught with RSB taking a large lead at the start only to be brought back to a single point, from there on in it was any one game. A couple of quick points at the death secured a home win in front of a largly partisan crowd. The all important spirit prize went to the Boogie Knights, a great achievement in their first tournament. The party this year was held in the Teviot student union, so no problems with space as last year, and was MASSIVE. Alot of nudity, including a little full frontal(and I do mean little), followed and judgeing by some of the sorry faces on Sunday a huge amout of beer was drunk. The party prize went to the Boogie Knights. Three pint challange scores: Open: DJ & Dave(Phat 'Eds) 16.54 seconds Womans: Elaine & Heide(Shooting Stars) 24.43 Co-Ed: Me & Alia(Flatball) a sorry 40 seconds The sharking prize was hotly contested this year, however it had to be given to Sam from Random Fling, for as he put it, trying to shark everyone at a Tequela party, every one in the chippy, everyone on the walk to the venue, everyone at the venue and everyone onthe way home. We never really found out if he had any luck. The final prize was for the coaches hat which this year went to the Phat' Eds Alien. I hope you all had a great weekend and are already looking forward to next years event, which we are going to book in the next week. Lots of forewarning.
