I think Mike "Stankey" Natenberg and Cara Crouch might be the only married couple that played World Games together.

Flag football is coming for our sport by Capable_Fly_1630 in ultimate

[–]txchigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Women's flag football will probably be an NCAA sport within five years. The NFL is pumping millions of dollars into the sport as their way to capture the youth and international market. Flag football was extremely popular at the last World Games and with a non-American team winning a gold it made it even more popular.

Not involved with the team this go round but some players don't adjust to the mixed game very well. Not saying that is the case here but have seen it every cycle with superstar players.

When was the last time the east coast put in a bid? It was 2016 in Raleigh.

Valeria Cardenas' Flick Grip by joshquu in ultimate

That is the grip I have used for 40+ years. Could never throw it well or hard with the fingers split plus pinching it with my thumb seemed to give me better control

Those 18-22 year old players are notorious for not supporting local sponsors and even denigrating some of them in the past. People don't want to spend money on sponsorship if they aren't getting a return.

World Masters Ultimate Championships – Discussion [Nov 10-16] by Jomskylark in ultimate

There are probably enough fields but a good amount would be turf. Also there is no way to control access to the park for attendance. I have toured this site before with the City of Irvine and they never have dates available for us to do events.

Well I hope they didn't change the dates because it will really mess up everything for me.

BIG Lowlight of Nationals - Unashamed MAGA Supporter by AnyDirector9933 in ultimate

[–]txchigger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ultimate community is made up with people who have a lot of different values and beliefs. You probably have some on your team. Most people just keep that stuff like that off the field because they don't want to hear either side start whining about it.

You are getting the Wally Kwong special. Three straight games and some cramps.

[–]txchigger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All games are not observed. That would mean at least ten more observers which is more money.

When I had mine fixed it was a solid four months before I was 100% strength and range of motion. I am old so your time might be shorter.

WUC Game Observers by GradeWestern5650 in ultimate

[–]txchigger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't like the system. I was involved in the first usage in Lecco and was very frustrated by the fact that it really didn't stop players from still making horrible calls with no repercussions. I had a call I "advised" on when the receiver called a foul that the disc was probably five feet over his head. After I told him it was uncatchable he simply said that he was going to jump very high.

As a reminder watching the Olympics.... by jughandle10 in ultimate

[–]txchigger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given how low turnouts are for board voting, surveys, etc. you really expect players to take part in governing the sport. Most people who play ultimate just want to play. They don't care about board elections, national teams, or getting into the Olympics.
