Ultimate Frisbee | Team 1 def. Team 2, 10-6
Team 1: Fandango, Flyboy, Festivus, Da Bear
Team 2: Crabgrass, Rudy, Orange Crush, Squash
Light was short, so the field got short, and that turned out to be the best decision anybody made all morning. Less real estate, more chaos. Score early, score often, no time to catch your breath between points.
It was a knife fight through the first half. 1-1. 2-2. 3-3. Neither side could string two together. Every possession felt like it mattered because it did.
Highlight of the day belonged to Da Bear, who cashed in a disc that Orange Crush got a fingertip on. Tipped, floating, everybody stopped for a half-second to figure out where it was going — except Da Bear, who was already there. Touchdown and a permanent spot in the group chat.
Which brings us to the call.
Da Bear claimed Crabgrass got a hand on the disc while it was still in the thrower’s hand. Replay — and by replay I mean four sets of eyeballs and the laws of physics — clearly showed the disc had left. HIGHLY questionable. Capital letters were used at the time. But this is F3, not the NFL, so we moved on like gentlemen.
Crabgrass did, however, begin narrating every subsequent swat. Dikembe finger wag included. “CLEAR OF THE HAND.” Every single time. Purely for the historical record.
That woke Team 2 up. Rudy went full Rudy — a couple of catches out there that had no business being completed, the kind where you’re already conceding the point and then he’s standing in the end zone holding the disc. We clawed all the way back to 6-6 and the momentum was ours.
And then we hit the wall. Team 1 tightened up on D, extended their cherry-picking range to roughly the parking lot, and we couldn’t get bodies back in transition fast enough. They closed it out 10-6.
MOLESKIN
Short field is the move. Put it in the rotation.
Even Superman doesn’t win every day. Not every day is yours. But this story ends with Team 2 as Superman — we’re just in the part of the movie where he’s flat on his back in the crater.
Rematch. Same teams. Bring the replay official.
