Just glancing at first round scores mid game, and I notice that Women's is very clear who's at the top and who's just there. Mixed and Open is at least a little closer.
Everything goes to seed except: Furious lost to Truck Stop (DC) Sub Zero lost to Chain (ATL)
I can understand the Snowmen losing (Chain played well all year, than lost to a not-so-good doublewide team at regionals, and were in semis last year), but the monkey loss shocks me.
I am shocked.
Machine played tight with condors, bravo up next round (bravo has a nice rest after stomping doublewide).
Maybe more madness in Pool B of mixed - Barrio has a small lead on Tandem. Apparently Liz Penny (former Riot standout) plays on Barrio. I didn't even need to check the Roster, I just looked at the photo here: http://tucsonultimate.com/barrio/. She has a pretty trademark look.
I had checked out rosters, looking for people I know going to nationals (a very small amount) and noticed Liz Penny on Barrio. Guess that's a pretty big pickup and she's having a huge impact. Guess that happens when you bring in a proven winner from a winning program. Always helps. Of course, I have no idea what other changes Barrio might have made.
So, can Furious machine their way into the power pools (in 2002, we needed to beat boss hog by 5 to make it up and we won 15-10)?

in the other pool (i am assuming furious is going to beat pike), if truck stop wins they go to the play in game if truck stop loses by 4 or less, they go to the play in game if truck stop loses by 6 or more, rhino goes to the play in game if truck stop loses by 5, -if furious beats pike by 6 or more, FG goes -if furious beats pike by 5 or less, rhino goes
survivor of this morass plays the loser of condors-goat
