Fall in the M.U.D. 2003
The team traveled to Quincy, CA over the weekend of November 8th-9th to take part in their third Fall in the MUD, again hosted by Mountain Ultimate Disc (M.U.D.) at Feather River College. The team played well despite absolutely miserable weather, proving that there's life after Sage and Cory. The photo at the top of this page was taken during a momentary break in the rain.

Last Chance Turkey Dance
The team traveled to Reno, NV over the weekend of November 22nd-23rd to play in Free Range's Last Chance Turkey Dance. It was pretty cold, and billions of canadian geese had obviously been decorating the fields for weeks. We got everyone to sing happy birthday to Ena and Liam at the party. I drove co-captains Jesse and Laura around downtown Reno for what seemed like hours trying to find a non-casino venue for the traditional "officers' breakfast". Click here for a photo of one of our best cheers of all time. If anyone has any other pictures from this tournament, please let me know.
Winter Thing 2003
The team made the long drive to Oregon for Eugene's Winter Thing tournament over the weekend of January 10th-11th. Highlights from the trip included me taking about a thousand wrong turns, none of us being able to find the tournament, losing Esther's dad John and Chip for several hours, sneaking in to John, Steven & Diana's hotel to go swimming, and having Steven pick up the check for dinner at Chevy's (thanks, Steven!!!!) However, I'll never forget Squid's fingers sticking out of a tiny hole in the door of the gas station bathroom she was locked inside for an hour or so, and Laura screaming "Get her out of there! I've got to go!!!" Click here for a few photos.
Slopfest 2004
The team returned to Castro Valley over the weekend of February 28th-29th to compete in the tournament hosted each year by Castro Valley High's Red Hand. The competition was very challenging, especially considering there were no bathrooms available. The team played so well that the opponent for our last game on Sunday left early to avoid getting crushed. Click here for a team photo.
Grass Burn 2004 - Can You Handle the Ninjya?
The team hosted their second tournament over Mother's Day weekend (May 8th and 9th), and it was a great success. Air Traffic Control won two games - the most they've ever won in any tournament! Touchdown Productions videotaped the win over The Ananda School's Chakras aired it on NCTV (Channel 11). Touchdown also recorded aired the finals, which pitted last year's winner The Red Hand (Castro Valley High) against Cultimate (Campolindo High) in a hard capped 15-14 nail-biter. We all feel sorry for the three teams who pulled out in the final week before the tournament - they missed a most excellent time.
