It was an edge-of-your-seat finish at the weekend's Regionals playoff game for Alberta's second bid spot to the Canadian Ultimate Championships. Calgary met Calgary in the Oui vs. Bronco final, and both squads fought hard right till the end. Oui came out strong right off the bat, putting the first points on the board. It was starting to look dire for Bronco as Oui continued to creep ahead, drawing nearer to the 17 cap with Bronco still five or six points behind. Not ones to let up, Bronco dug deep and came out with a last burst of horsepower to clamp on their D, activate their O and tie it up. Now a game to 1, it was a final that could have gone either way. To say the last point was intense would be an understatement. Oui started on offence but the tables were turned when Bronco intercepted a pass in Oui's half of the field, turning possession over and converting it for the winning point.
Congrats to all teams from Calgary (Crude, Oui, Bronco) and Edmonton (Red Herring and Psychoplastique) who came down to compete. Alberta's two mixed bids went to Psychoplastique and Bronco.
The Womens division also held its Regionals match on Sunday, playing for seeding.

 $1325 buckaroos at your disposal....what would you do?
You could reimburse your players for the summer....you could outfit them with some sweet matching jerseys (and maybe matching track suits and Oakley shades and Nike Speed TDs).....or you could blow it all on a sick year-ender party.
The Swingers (Tuesday B1) are leaning towards the party idea.
Currently, the Swingers are in the lead for Most Volunteer Hours contributed towards supporting the Canadian Ultimate Championships 2008 (CUC2008). As you've likely heard, league fee reimbursements are up for grabs as an incentive to bring CUA community volunteers out to help make CUC2008 a success. Calgary is hosting the Championships this year and the big show hits town August 14 - 17 ..... less than a month away!!
If your team is looking to make some cold hard cash this summer -- there's still time to give the Swingers a run for their money. There will be 3 cash prizes given away in August (after CUC2008) to the teams who put in the most hours.
1st Place - $1325
2nd Place - $675
3rd Place - $325
Are you going to sit back and let the Swingers walk away with the prize?
Any and all hours contributed as a volunteer for CUC2008 (or other CUA official functions) count towards your teams' total and there's still lots of opportunity to rack up hours. Every little bit helps!
To sign up for your chance to win, email Erin van Regen: volunteer@calgary2008.com
