Ultimate Barely

Wednesday March 11, 2009
12PM Pick-up game
Mitre Fields, Burlington, MA
Weather: 40 F, Cloudy
Field: slushy snow
Perfect conditions for Ultimate.

We nearly didn't have enough players declare themselves "IN" via email for this game. According to my emails, that would have been the first "GAME OFF" called for the Burlington Mon/Wed/Fri pickup games in over a year. Not to worry though, a secondary call to arms email did the trick as we ended up with a 4v4 game.

Ultimate Storm

Mitre Fields, Burlington, MA
Weather: 32 F, Snow
Field: accumulating snow
Perfect conditions for Ultimate.

Yet. Another. Snowstorm. We put together a decent 3v3 in the middle of Monday's snowstorm. Yes this is New England but we've had a lot of snowstorms this year. Spring will be a welcome change. And speaking of spring, I went to sign up for the BUDA spring hat league on Monday evening only to find that the site was toast. Apparently they over-hyped the need to sign up early and the site was immediately overloaded at 5PM EDT on Monday when registration started. Registration has now been pushed back to Wednesday at 5PM EDT.

Most Fridays we actually get a poor turnout for whatever reason. Last week, though, we had a nice 7v7 game in the snow.

Ultimate Perfect

12PM Pick-up game
Mitre Fields, Burlington, MA
Weather: 32 F, Sunny
Field: thin layer of crunchy snow
Perfect conditions for Ultimate.

I'm a little behind in my ultimate posts so I'm having a hard time remembering which game is which. I'm pretty sure this game was one of the better ones recently with temperatures right around freezing, no wind, and a firm, thin layer of snow to play on.
