The 2010 Green Cup Presented by Chaos - code name Tahoe

This ain't Lake Merrit yo

The Chaos Footbag Club is pleased to announce that the 2010 Green Cup Presented by Chaos will be held in beautiful South Lake Tahoe on July 24th and 25th, 2010.

This will, no doubt, be an epic Chaos event.

We elected these dates in order to provide a pre-Worlds tournament that will draw the World’s top talent.  Players will try to improve their world ranking heading into the World Championships, which begin the following weekend in Oakland, California

The location will show off some of the most scenic areas California has to offer; provide for some high altitude training; and allow you to relax and prepare for 2010’s biggest event.

Post Green Cup Blues

The Green Cup will now have the names of 6 different teams etched on it

It was quite a weekend and now another epic Green Cup is history.  Some quick results.  I hope to post more about the weekend later.

Emmanuel and PT Lovern (Choas #3) took game one of the Green Cup final 15-12.  JF Lemieux and Ben Rochon took game 2 15-12.  At 3-0 (JF and Ben) in game 3 and after using up all their time-outs PT Lovern and Emmanuel had to scratch out due Emmanuel’s cramps.  It’s really too bad because the players were putting on a defensive clinic and the match was on it’s way to meeting expectations set by last years final.

Alexis Deschenes/Francios Pelletier won the bronze over Yves Archambault and Luc Legault in straight sets.

The highlights of finals day was the semi-final between Lus/Yves and Emmanuel/PT which went the distance with many epic exchanges.

The Singles championship is JF Lemieux’s over Greg Lima in straight sets.  The mixed title goes to PT Lovern/Jody Welch over JF Lemieux/Lisa Monti Vu in straight sets.
