World Championship Results - Complete and Final

Apologies for a very late final report.  I was unable to access the Internet before my worlds trip came to a close and then I was on vacation and off the grid for awhile.  Anyway, the nitty gritty…

Chaos had 6 players represented on 4 doubles teams, all advancing from the preliminary round, and 2 of our 4 entrants in the open singles event also advanced from pool play to bracket.  Of those who advanced from prelims, our teams finished in 3rd, 4th, 10th, and 13th place out of 31 total teams, and the singles players finished in 2nd and 16th place in the 48 player field.  Check the link above for complete World Championship results.

Of course, we’re covering freestyle highlights here too and the highlight of highlights for USA/Chaos is that Carol Wedemeyer, Chaos 5.1 beta, won her 7th Women’s Singles Championship in a row and in dramatic fashion.

Semi Sweet USA

(report #2 from the 2005 WFC)

Singles Net:
John Leys cruised into the semifinals of open singles net on Wednesday while Eric Wulff was unable to upset his way into the top 8.

Round two began with Eric scoring an 11–9, 11–2 victory over Vince Bradley.  Next up was Andreas Wolff, this year's European Overall Champion, the winner going to the quarter finals.  Eric fell behind early before coming back from a 10–4 deficit in game one, finally succumbing 12–10.  The second game was less dramatic with Andreas maintaining control to advance with an 11–6 triumph.

Chaos - All In

(report #1 from the 2005 WFC)

After two days of competition in Helsinki, Finland, host city of the 2005 World Footbag Championships, preliminary rounds are complete and all entrants from Team Chaos advanced. Furthermore, each Chaos competitor held seed or moved up in the brackets.

Incoming!

Brace for impact!  Chaos Tour 2005 touches down on the far side of the pond – in Wroclaw, Poland – on July 16th – just in time for the European Championships.  Chaos 0 and #3 look forward to "sharing" their Chaotic antics on and off the court with the European masters.  The mighty duo are supported by Chaos #3.1, Leti Saucedo, and will take on reinforcements in Chaos #4, 5, 5.1, 7, 9, and 13 on their next stop, The World Championships in Helsinki, Finland – opening July 23rd.  Chaos has a little more time to savior their accomplishments of 2004 before it’s time to focus on the job at hand – representing the Red, White, and Blue… and Green, in their drive to take home a few more titles, hopefully including a World Championship, or two.

It's The New Style!

"Chaos Footbag" .com

Ok, now say it again to yourself &ndash – this time with the ‘dot–com’ part at just a whisper.

No seriously, try it.

Okay, now you’re feelin it like I’m feelin it.  chaosfootbag.com is here… again.  But don’t worry, it is still the site you, only you, know and love.  For instance, we haven’t gone and put too much more content on the site, mostly to keep it backwards compatible of course.  So, this is the latest version of the best looking extreme hacky website in the Northern California Bay Area having just enough substance NOT to waste any of your time.

err, um… Anyway, this latest version is designed using web standards–based methodology (of which there really aren’t any, officially that is, but there is a darn good idea of what they are… if they were) and that’s what this is really all about.  There really is no such sport as footbag either.  I just came up with the concept in order to generate some content (just a wee bit of) by which to show off my design skills.  So, if you’re a hacker, more the computer geek kind and less of the kicking geek type, then surely you’re terribly impressed and may be in dire want of my services.  If that is in fact the case, click the link at the way bottom right of any page.

The Green Cup

The 2005 Green Cup, presented by Chaos, came to a climactic conclusion yesterday at Peacock Meadow in Golden Gate Park as the current World Champions - Chaos no. 3 and 4, PT Lovern and John Leys, took home ‘The Cup’ by defeating the defending Green Cup Champion, Alexis Deschenes and his partner this year, Brent Stewart.

For the second year in in a row the singles final was the most exciting match on Green Cup’s Championship Monday.  Kenny Shults, last year’s runner up, and Emmanuel Bouchard, the reigning World Champion, staged a classic “nobody deserves to loose” match, but in the end it was Kenny Shults pulling out the victory, thus ending “the streak” at an unprecedented 36 tournaments in a row.

- More Results -

The Green Cup is made possible in part by the generous support of Lagunitas Brewing, Tommy’s Mexican Restaurant, and Prokicker footbags.  Many thanks to them!  Most importantly, Chaos can not thank enough all those who donated their time and energy.  The success of this year’s event was once again made possible by a tremendous staff that is 100% volunteer.  From the line judges to the DJ… a big Chaos thanks!  Lastly, Chaos thanks the players who made the trip and all those family and friends who came out to support the show.  The Green Cup just wouldn’t be what it is without you.
