Autumnal League 2008 - Round 1 Review

Autumnal League kicked off in style last night, with 2 great games.

On Field Two, Black and White faced-off in the Grand Final rematch. As far as Grand Final rematches go, this one was pretty ironic. Neither of the two captains actually played in the Spring League Grand Final, nor had most of the players. To their credit, they weren't about to let anomalies of history get in the way of a great game. With Black fielding a veritable army of players (apparently their entire squad bar one person showed up), and White fielding an exciting mix of seasoned veterans and talented newbies, the game was a spectacle in it's own right. Unfortunately for White, one piece of history they weren't able to rewrite was the final outcome. Black repeated their success from the Spring League Grand Final, running out comfortable 14-8 winners. Team White were, however, left with plenty to take away from the game though. At the very least, Jake Anderson rediscovered his capacity to be vocal, having been relieved of the pressures of simultaneously trying to captain the team AND be a role model for aspiring body-builders.

Meanwhile, on Field One, bonus points are due to Kristin Huang. The newly installed Competitive Program Co-leader discovered that as Kryptonite is Superman's achilles heel, our very own Super Ultimate Man Uli Burke has a weakness of his own - ambiguity. Facing a team who refused to declare their allegiance to any one particular shade of Blue, Team Red just couldn't maintain Uli's unbeaten record in Hong Kong. To be fair though, this was an excellent game. It took 20 minutes to score the first four points, such was the intensity. Neither team was ever able to open up a lead of more than 2 points, and the game-play was highlighted by some amazing defensive efforts to pressure the opposing team into turning the disc over. In the end though, Kristin's Team "Any Blue But Navy" was able to deliver Lily Huang the perfect parting gift before she leaves for London - a thrilling one-pont victory 10-9.

The stage has been set for a great season of Ultimate, so make you're there to join us next Wednesday night!

Great

Hi I am Matt from New york. This great I love sports very much. Sport is an activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively. Sports commonly refer to activities where the physical capabilities of the competitor are the sole or primary determinant of the outcome (winning or losing), but the term is also used to include activities such as mind sports (a common name for some card games and board games with little to no element of chance) and motor sports where mental acuity or equipment quality are major factors. Sport is commonly defined as an organized, competitive and skillful physical activity requiring commitment and fair play. Some view sports as differing from games based on the fact that there are usually higher levels of organization and profit (not always monetary) involved in sports. Accurate records are kept and updated for most sports at the highest levels, while failures and accomplishments are widely announced in sport news. I love making friends and chatting with them. I like your sit very much. I am a designer of plumbing supplies and do a lot of thing, almost all the accessories of the bathrooms as well. Recently I got a new idea of the bathroom vanities in my mind and I wan to discuss it with my friends. Your site is the best platform for me. And I love being here.

The term sports is sometimes extended to encompass all competitive activities in which offense and defense are played, regardless of the level of physical activity. Both games of skill and motor sport exhibit many of the characteristics of physical sports, such as skill, sportsmanship, and at the highest levels, even professional sponsorship associated with physical sports.

Sports that are subjectively judged are distinct from other judged activities such as beauty pageants and bodybuilding shows, because in the former the activity performed is the primary focus of evaluation, rather than the physical attributes of the contestant as in the latter (although "presentation" or "presence" may also be judged in both activities).

Sports are most often played just for fun or for the simple fact that people need exercise to stay in good physical condition.

Although they do not always succeed, sports participants are expected to display good sportsmanship, standards of conduct such as being respectful of opponents and officials, and congratulating the winner when losing.
