Nothing Can Stop The Funtastik Summer Classic

chaos footbag: Gilles down from Montreal meets Ernesto from parts unknownNeither rain, nor wind, nor mud, nor… well, you get the idea.  Tropical storm Ernesto gave it’s all on opening day at “The Classic”, but he was no match for the legball die hards that have been making this tournament great for 21 years.  Ernesto was beat down so badly he did not dare rear his ugly head on Sunday, and by Championship Monday he was long gone - weather perfect!

Footbag Net’s Super Power
Montreal Quebec Canada, brought 9 players to the tournament and they wound up qualifying for all 4 spots in the singles semi-finals and 3 of the 4 spots in doubles semis.

Emmanuel Bouchard, of Montreal Quebec, once again dominated the Open Singles Net event - winning the final match in 2 sets over his opponent, JF Lemieux.  While JF continues to improve and climb the International rankings at an impressive pace, he has yet to figure out Emmanuel, and he is in good company.  Emmanuel dazzled the crowd in the final match - time and again demonstrating his amazing ability to cover the court and gain control of the footbag before ruthlessly placing it on his opponents side with pinpoint accuracy.

This is Emmanuel’s 1,354th singles title in 1,355 tries.
