Roll Call 2008 - Quick Recap

70 teams, 40 Open and 30 Women's, all made the trek to fabled ground in Maryland for Cultimate's first ever Roll Call Tournament.

Dayton received a 2nd seed in their pool (which would be held.....unfortunately), and set sights on finishing in the Top 16. It was a long weekend, filled with pulled hammies, cleated backs, cleats to the face, the occasional crappy-as-all-get-out call, and backhand rips to the eyeball. It was a tough, tough weekend. The gang is beaten and battered, and unfortunately, the final goal of Top 16 was not met.

Ghetto finished in 21st place, and an official record of 6-2. Unfortunately, the two losses were poorly timed and both seriously hindered Championship Bracket and Consolation Bracket play. Nonetheless, the tournament, in hindsight, may or may not have been perfect. As mentioned in previous posts, this tournament was all about timing. For some, like Pitt, the timing proved will and consistency were at the helm. For others, like Indiana, timing maybe showed some scares that the College Series was quickly approaching. For Ghetto, the timing has given the team an introspective look into the finer points that all need to be addressed prior to Sectionals....and it's much better those points be addressed before Sectionals, as opposed to after.

The full write up and game recaps will be coming throughout the week. Here are the final game scores, and a quick peak at the heart pounding Universal nature of 3 Ghetto games:
