Below are the unofficial results from today’s Open Pairs prelim at Paganello. We moved into the big tent because of nasty onshore winds. We played on the tent’s wood floor and had a great crowd of hungry Ultimate players making their way to and from the concession.
Prelim highlights included Flo Hess’ superconsecutive Combo Of The Day that included a cartwheel and a spinning gitis, a one-drop performance by Reto Zimmerman and a bearded Paul Kenny, and the Paganello debut of legend Joey Hudoklin (and Darryl Allen and Rob Fried). The after competition highlight were the mob-ops in the tent that allowed the European players to continue their Joey-led immersion in one-touch jamming.
Tomorrow’s day session will be the co-op semifinals, and the night session will be the pairs semifinals in the disco.
