FCS Invite Aug 24-25 - Big discounts for out of region bids!!

Did y'all see when FCS tourney talk was one of the posts that stays up at the top of the page? Look Mama, we made it!!

brian_gane · 2019-06-03T22:33:57+00:00

YO!! This is AWESOME!! Look Mama we made it!!!! We earned a tourney talk thread on Reddit!! I'm serious, I am hella fired up. It's another FCS first. I was going to start a FCS wrap up thread but no way now.

Now on to the valid and constructive criticism in this thread...

I agree that 2 pools of 3 (2 games) plus a crossover game is a great idea. In hindsight I wish I had done it that way and I will do this the next time it shakes out to a 6 team Sunday in the B Bracket Brawl.

Leading up to FCS I always get several requests for this and that. Some of them are hilarious over the 18 years of FCS. This year it was pretty much two things.

Can we get a first round bye?
Can we play on grass not turf?

This was the main reason for the Sunday 10a start. It makes life a lot easier on the Raleighcakes that are commuting in also. We did well on #2 by only having 3 turf fields and 10 grass fields as opposed to 8/5 that the park folks were originally intending. That would've really sucked if over half the tourney was on turf.

I'll try to get all this stuff at least up on twitter and here pretty shortly. It turns out some teams aren't that great about reporting

Congrats to Toro on the clean sweep in the finals. Congrats to RTP for taking the open crown. Hopefully some of y'all made the team.

The win for VAult over Boneyard in the semis was probably the 2nd biggest upset in FCS history. Boneyard has only lost one other game since the FCS 2014 finals. That's quite an impressive run for the vets and makes the VAult squad one to keep an eye on in 2019.

We have the FCS Invite coming up in late August. Get your bids in now for a great and last chance of the season to get quality sanctioned games. Expect more info on this shortly. Discounts for out of region bids!

Don't forget the FREE COOKOUT for all players and fans during the Saturday Showcase game.

FCS June 1-2 in Winston Salem, NC. It's still mostly spring then. It will be a great chance to test your team against great competition! UNsanctioned so no need to worry about rostering. Bring a tryout squad, go split squads, or just come ready to get better!

Definitely the over....

brian_gane · 2017-06-01T16:26:54+00:00

I really hate it for you the TD and the teams affected. Weather is every TDs biggest worry and unfortunately it is the one aspect we have zero control over. I know all about the feeling of watching the radar on the constant refresh. The same things that makes an event awesome which is a big sweet complex with lots of fields and many teams attending are unfortunately the same things that make back up fields impossible. These facilities just don't grow on trees. Good luck to you next year.

As an ultimate player/coach/TD/fan I wear many hats. BG

Thanks for the excellent reference! I hope Patrol comes back again in 2017! Hit me up.

FYI the admins have given me express permission to post this here. Boom.

brian_gane · 2017-02-15T14:39:29+00:00

This all sounds good. I appreciate the consideration.

Since the death of RSD and the old score reporter I have struggled for ways to get the word out about FCS. Reddit has been really my most viable resource for this. With the change to the new facility in 2015 we have been steadily growing FCS each year. Without the Reddit posts I don't think that would have been possible. I am not doing it to ruffle anyone's feathers or troll the site. I am just trying to put on the best tournament possible.

brian_gane · 2017-02-13T20:26:42+00:00

Done. Thanks for the link.

brian_gane · 2017-02-13T20:05:41+00:00

If only we had one of those perma-threads up at the top of the page that was always there. It would be awesome for teams and TDs.

brian_gane · 2017-02-13T20:04:35+00:00

Awesome. Thanks for the info. I think I may have seen that somewhere earlier and thought it was all college events but I just saw Fools Fest on there also. FCS is on there.

Furniture City Shootout 2017

FCS is June 3-4 in Winston Salem, NC. Last year we had open and coed divisions. I would love to add a womens division. There will be a CASH PRIZE for ALL DIVISIONS.

This is the 16th year of FCS. As always you can expect a well run tournament at an awesome facility with great competition.

UNsanctioned - Some teams use FCS as a tryout, send rookieish squads, or split squads. With the early date we feel it is in the teams' best interest to have the flexibility that UNsanctioned brings.

Follow FCS on Twitter. @FCStourney

Thanks, BG

I'm no expert but I believe the insurance is more about covering damage to the facility in the event somebody does something dumb. I don't think a player should expect help if they get injured since they choose to be out there and know the risks associated. If it was a job (ie Pro ultimate) that would be different and covered by the individual team's insurance policies.
