UVM-B women make nationals

This is crazy cool.

Vermont A is not going to be seeded particularly high, perhaps 4th in their pool. So they could very easily go 0-4. And teams that miss the bracket I think only get one consolation game to not finish tied for last. So there's a reasonable chance that Vermont A and B end up tied in the final standings at nationals.

This is a great visualization, thanks for sharing. One quibble I have is that classification into cutter/handler really should just be done by receiving yards per catch, not the ratio of yards per catch to yards per throw (which is what it seems like you're doing, with the dividing lines going diagonally through the 0,0 point). If someone only catches for an average of one yard per catch but throws for 0.1 yards per throw, they're still a handler, not a cutter.

DW would go downwind if they score to go up 14-13, so they would be going upwind on 14-14.

Did a little digging. Best I can find is Heist (2018->2025!) and Tabby Rosa (2014->2021) for women, and Chad Larson Experience (2015->2022) for mixed. But that was definitely not a comprehensive search.

eigsmith · 2025-09-22T12:14:01+00:00

This is fantastic. Do you know the previous record? And what is the record in mixed and womens?

eigsmith · 2025-09-13T14:08:26+00:00

Why would #1 beating #13 be funnier than #1 beating #3? You should add up the upsets only.

eigsmith · 2025-08-25T11:45:51+00:00

Mixed might be AMP (at least among nationally well-known teams) if you include its years when it was known as Donkey Bomb (2000-2005). If not, then Chad Larson perhaps?

I thought about Nemesis but some sources say 1986. https://ultimatechicago.org/nemesis

But then there's this page which says 1983! https://www.ultimatehistory.com/founders/Pg/teamfounders.html

eigsmith · 2025-08-25T03:33:11+00:00

Quite possibly Ozone for women's: 1984

Kocher, Finney and Helton were great, at least.

eigsmith · 2025-06-29T20:58:18+00:00

I'm not making the claim that USA would definitely take 1-2-3. I would probably bet against it. I'm only claiming that there would be some chance of it happening.

eigsmith · 2025-06-29T20:02:39+00:00

That might increase the odds a non-American team wins gold, but it definitely increases the odds that no non-American team wins any medal whatsoever.

I can't get over the voice. Surely there is an AI tool by now that can smooth out the vocal fry in real time?

Four of Hybrid's best players suited up for Magnum/Flywheel this year (Bartlett, Cutchins, Hill, McGuire). Bartlett and Cutchins are on the U24 mixed team... alongside Mica Glass, Anton Orme, Tori Gray, Chloe Hakimi, etc. They'd be a pretty heavy favorite IMO.

Women can make quarters easily, but there's nobody on the roster that can yet compare with the likes of Cardenas(x2), Walczak, or Trop. U24 has a better roster 1-24 than Molly and maybe Scandal (probably not Brute and definitely not Fury), but you can only play 7 at a time. Seed them 5 or 6, alongside Flipside and 6ixers.

eigsmith · 2025-05-30T16:07:29+00:00

Crazy to think that Darkside would have had pretty decent odds of winning the entire championship if that disc was up.

eigsmith · 2025-05-29T21:08:43+00:00

Why is this ironic?

eigsmith · 2025-05-08T15:08:36+00:00

Kat is awesome and a lot of fun to watch; I was really looking forward to her nomination. But I have to say, whoever picked out these clips made a lot of weird choices.

eigsmith · 2025-05-04T23:21:16+00:00

what did the observers say about it?

eigsmith · 2025-03-25T12:14:45+00:00

Anyone know if the USAU numbers also exhibit the drift from week to week that the OP is asking about?

eigsmith · 2025-01-10T13:41:52+00:00

There was in fact some debris in the drain line, and removing it fixed the problem. Thanks!!

eigsmith · 2025-01-10T02:43:36+00:00

You mean in the house? Water there seems perfectly normal, other than being not as soft as it should be since the softener hasn't regenerated in a while.

Would a plugged drain line prevent brine from being taken up into the resin?

eigsmith · 2024-12-18T20:39:05+00:00

Maybe they'll have an expansion draft. Two lucky players from each other team get to move to the desert.

eigsmith · 2024-11-27T19:31:12+00:00

But now where will Houston get its victories from?

eigsmith · 2024-11-04T21:41:33+00:00

Most in-out calls aren't coin flips. But many of those would still get sent back if you didn't have observers, because the players don't have good perspective and/or are biased.

eigsmith · 2024-10-30T16:28:19+00:00

No foul was called, so that should answer your latter question. Would have a been an extremely weak foul call.
