Atlanta's Chain Lightning in UPA Finals

Atlanta's Chain Lightning made it to the UPA Club Finals. The Finals will be shown online at this website at 2:30 pm on Sunday. If you want to read about how Chain did in the tournament up to this point, read Dan Heijmen's tournament recap. Also, the Chain Lightning website is pretty informative about the team's perspective on the tournament.

Today, Atlanta's Chain will be playing against the Bay Area's Revolver. "The game will be the first time Chain or any open team from the southern region has ever made the finals." Chain has a huge collection of UGA grads, including:

1. Greg Swanson
2. Dylan Tunnell
3. Frank Wooten
4. Peter Dempsey (not graduated)
5. Jay Hammond
6. Grant Kirby
7. AJ Tiarsmith (our coach)

GO CHAIN LIGHTNING. Bring home the 'chip.

Classic City Classic LIII Bids Due

CCC bids were due yesterday October 30, 2009. We are still accepting bids from Women's College Teams up to the point where we announce the Accepted Teams. The tournament entry fee will be $300.

The next thing you will hear about CCC is the Accepted Teams list on November 6, 2009. We will be posting these on RSD, on this website, and on the Official Tournament Website.

In other news, Chain beat Jam to move to Semis. They are playing Boston's Ironside, a team they lost to a year ago in Semis. That should be a fun game to watch.

UPA Club Nationals Day 2 : Chain Lightning goes 2-0

Atlanta's Chain Lightning won their two power pool games today at the 2009 UPA Club Nationals tournament in Sarasota, FL. Here are their results from Score Reporter :

Pool F (3-0) F1: Chain Lightning (B1) (2-1) F2: Sockeye (D1) (0-3) F3: Johnny Bravo (D2) (1-2) F4: Ring of Fire (B2)
Fri	Game	Fld	Score	Game	Fld	Score
9:30 11:30	F1-F3	27	15-12	F2-F4	28	15-13
12:15 2:15	F1-F2	27	15-9	F3-F4	28	11-15

Chain beat Johnny Bravo this morning. The game was close at half, but Chain had another strong second half. Chain then played Seattle Sockeye. They beat them 15-9 and ended the game on defense.

Tomorrow, they have a rematch with San Francisco area's Jam. Jam are the reigning champions of the club tournament. Hopefully, Atlanta's Chain Lightning can hit the ground running tomorrow, as it seems they haven't played well in the first game of each of the days.

Good luck ATL.

Day 1 UPA Club Natties : Chain Lightning 3 - 0

3:00 5:00	B1-B2	26	15-9	B3-B4	25	15-1

From the looks of it, Chain's first game this morning against Ring was the most interesting. Ring took half 8-7. The final score was 15-10, Chain on top. That's a huge second half.

As of right now, Chain's schedule for tomorrow is this:

9:30 AM - Atlanta Chain Lightning v. Denver's Johnny Bravo
12:15 AM - Atlanta Chain Lightning v. Seattle Sockeye

Keep it up, ATL.
