NJSS Wrap

John Returns and Yve's Streak Continues

John Leys, Chaos #4, returned to singles action this weekend after a 9 month layoff due to injury at last year’s World Championships.  He prevailed over the almighty Yves Archambault in the final, winning his first NJSS Open Singles title in as many tries: 7-15, 15-7, 15-7.

John and Yves also teamed up to win the Open Doubles title by defeating Team Jersey, Greg “where are you on footbag.org” Nice and Anthony Intemann, in straight sets: 15-6, 15-4.

Please comment if I’m wrong Yves, but I believe this means you have won at least one footbag tournament in each of the last 19 years in a row!  That’s an amazing accomplishment!  Notice I didn’t say it is an amazing feet I’m only thinking of my reader(s).

John, Yves, Greg, Aintno, and many others will be right here in Northern Cali in two weeks for the first major of the year - The Green Cup 2007 - hosted by Chaos Footbag!

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

You heard it here first - or damn close to it.  The management of Yves Archambault and John Leys just agreed to a one tournament deal.  Evil and Chaos #4 are teaming up to wreak havoc on the NJSS!

Soul Jam - A Brief

I just returned from a great weekend in Santa Cruz and I plan to post a complete review sometime in the next couple days.  I’m a bit tired right now though so in the interest of getting something posted while it’s hot - here’s the brief…

Congratulations and thanks to Jeremy Mirken and the SCSJ staff for organizing and running the first Santa Cruz Soul Jam footbag net event!  I believe all agree that it was a great success!

Eight players from Chaos represented on 6 teams finishing in 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th places out of 11 teams total.  Not too shabby! 

Chris Seibert and Steve Dusablon, Team NPR, came down from Portland for the weekend allowing us to add another chapter to the Chaos/NPR rivalry.  Sweet!  Chris and Steve made an impressive run at the title but fell short by loosing in the final.  Alexis Deschenes and Patrick ‘I forgot my uniform’ Schrickel, Chaos #8, won the championship match in straight sets: 15-4, 15-10.  Team Deschenes/Schrickel dominated everybody all weekend.

Try 35 different premium tequilas under the guidance of Dr Julio and Dr Kern, aka Chaos #10, and you too can become a Master.  35 more and you could earn your Tequila PhD.  My training is coming along nicely and I find that I’m peaking at just the right time.  Opening day at The Green Cup is just 23 days away.  Are you ready?
