Hi BD, At the start of the project we weren't sure we could coordinate 3 venues on one weekend but we did it and with some outstanding play at each venue. The results from each venue are below and we wish to offer congratulation each of the winning teams and the SOTG winners from each event. The Super 7s National Finals planning is under way. The date & place along with the qualifying teams will be released as soon as we can.
Super 7s Series – Devon Final Standing (Ave. SOTG) 1. Pro Tour (12.67) 2. Fo’sho’ (16) – SOTG Winners 3. Limp Diskit (9) 4. PicNic (16) After late dropouts the Devon region had only the hardiest four of teams starting the tournament. With a last minute change of venue and schedule rewrite the teams could be forgiven for starting the day on the down beat. Not to be, the Devon teams proved to be warm hearted, unlike the weather, respecting the effort that had been put in to find a replacement over the days leading into the event. Pro Tour were the run-a-way winners never being more than little challenged by any team but putting on a good show for the side line in every match while respecting the opposition. The highlight of the tournament was the final pool game that proved to be the decider for the second seed in the final. The superbly named Fo’sho’ vs Limp Diskit played out trading the match all game long. In the end Fo’sho’ took the game with an up-winder that left Limp Diskit needing to score 2 on the bounce after the half to bring them into contention and force a sudden death. Unfortunately time was not on their side and Fo’Sho’ put a disc in just in time to seal the win before the horn. Limp Diskit went into the three/four placing game as favourites to take the third sport at the Super 7s National Finals. PicNic put a lot of pressure on form the start showing they the inexperienced team had developed over the tournament. Tired from the earlier loss Limp Diskit took their time to score the points and seal their place in the Super 7s National Finals. The final could have been a formality however; Fo’sho’ came out fired up after the tough final pool game and took the match to Pro Tour. In the end Pro Tour stepped up a gear to bring out a safe lead but Fo’sho’ kept up the tenacity and was rewarded with some points late in the match. Super 7s - Sheffield 1. Buck's Fizz 2. York 1 3. BASS 4. Plastic Explosive 5. York 2 6. Hulltimate 7. Bradford 8. Welbeck College Despite a couple of close-ish pool games, Buck's Fizz dominated the final, beating York 12-2. BASS beat Plastic 6-5 in sudden death, having lost to them by one point in their pool game. With the bottom four, rather than repeating matches, we took their pool result from the morning and added it into a round robin format in the afternoon. York 2, Hull and Bradford all finished on two wins, so it came down to points difference. Welbeck, in their first ever tournament, came with the desire to score at least a point in each game. Whilst they lost 15-0 to Buck's Fizz, they then went on to score two in each of their other games, so were pretty chuffed. Spirit votes on the day were tied 3-3 between Bradford and Welbeck (though the latter had to leave before the presentation so didn't receive a prize unfortunately). I haven't yet had time to go through the WFDF spirit scores, but will publish them at some point this week. Super 7s - London 1.Mohawks. (13 2. Oh Ah Cantona. (13) 3.Black Mamba (15) 4. Stoobs(13.8) 5. Milky Bar Kids (14.25) 6. Choke Hazard. (14.8) 7. Cutty Sharks (14.2) Thanks again to all the teams for bringing some fine Ultimate and good spirit.
