Before we begin posting pictures from Facebook albums (and there are lots), we'd like to share this video of the final point in the Boracay-Ninja Cowboy Bear quarterfinals on Sunday morning. We'll leave our comments to ourselves, but see for yourself what the controversy was all about.
After Spirits, a group of Frisbee players descended upon the paradisaical island of Boracay to relax and play more Ultimate. Here are two videos, the top one from a beach hat tourney on Thursday, the bottom one from Tuesday.
Panoy with the sick D. Video speaks for itself.
Boracay would go on to face another Japanese team, Link, in the finals.
China's Alicia with the score.
The two teams would meet again in the finals.

The Chinese mega-media-conglomerate CCTV's sports channel, CCTV 5, is showing a replay of the USA-Japan finals from July's World Games as we speak. Here's the URL for Internet streaming.
For you Mac users who don't have Internet Explorer, you might be able to download the game after the fact from Zhibo8.
If getting onto CCTV 5 (thanks to Richie of Tianjin, by the way) isn't impressive enough, here's a highlight of the game on ESPN's SportsCenter, top play No. 8 out of 10.
And a series of much higher quality videos can be found here.
Anyone who's been around China Ultimate long enough has probably turned up in a Balance Wang video at one time or another, but recent conjugal obligations have kept Balance and his trusty camera away from the Ultimate scene. Could Tianjin's Richie be a replacement?
Judging by these videos... maybe. He's got a bit of catching up to do, but this is a good start.

Tianjin news report about Ultimate
Here's a video from the March Tianjin tournament. Richie's Youku profile, with all his videos, is here.
Jim and Joe as Doozers from Fraggle Rock
You wear six articles of clothing that are the colors of the Rubik's Cube (red, yellow, blue, white, orange, green) and by night's end try to leave wearing a solid color. The ambitious (e.g., Joe Pellicano of Beijing) may try to go through each of the six.
Please allow the team from Beijing to demonstrate...
BEFORE:
Mike and Jim, who didn't completely follow the game's rules
Sandy and Joe
Lauren, Brian and Kevin
Tao
Lauren and Hsing-Hui
DURING AND AFTER:
Mike and... Mike
Among other notable sights: a guy dressed in a one-piece spandex thong-suit jiggling his ass cheeks (too inappropriate to post); Nads of Shanghai stuffing an oval balloon down his pants and yelping after Jim popped it with a pin; members from Cocksuckers (no, really, that's their team name) performing various acts on balloons; a certain trade involving a Superman shirt...
In case you're wondering, the team from Guam called GuamBATS won the party award.
If you haven't gotten the picture yet, here are two videos:
Will memories of this tourney never die? (Found these on my computer today and figured I'd share. Why not, right?)
Sara Udall, sweet forehand
