Ok, so we have two fully formed teams, a few looking for teams and a few others who are on the fence about going...

Lexington should have at least three teams in this. Let's try to get it together right here by listing who's going and who still needs to form a team.

team #1
Shane
Flowers
Chris

team #2
Grant
Kyle
Me

Rich, Pat, Jakub, Tiff, Jack, Nick, Ben, Alex... who else can we get together for a team?

I'm still on the fence. If I go it'll be rather last minute, hopefully knowing by Saturday night, so I can tell you then. I've got room for 4 counting myself, possibly 5, but that might be rather uncomfortable.

ok, so it looks like Pat is out. We can still assemble a kick-ass team from those players who are left. Anyone wanna form a 3rd team???

I am sure it would be a great time. I can't make it because of other things going on with the holiday weekend. Kick some ass!

Just heard that Team #1 from Lex finished 4th next to Chicago, Madison and NYC. Team #2 fought out of the loser bracket and came in 6th. Everyone said the crowd wonder "who lexington was, where they came from, etc" and really rooted for Lexington to win. Sounds like a lot of cred was earned hard this weekend.

Good job everyone.

Roscoe and I just picked up all the barriers to use on the street tomorrow afternoon at bike lexington.

Gonna be great!

the final results were:

1st - Milwaukee
2ndt - Madison
3rd - Chicago
4th - Lexington (Chris, Brad and Shane)

I'm not sure how our other team (Grant, Kyle and myself) fared in the overall standings... I really don't think it was 6th, though. We lost to the winning Milwaukee team, and then again in the loser's bracket to Lucky's St. Louis squad... but we did reach the final 8 teams.

Chris, Brad and Shane lost to Madison first, and then Chicago... but both were very tough, close games. Lexington was VERY close to being in the final match-up.

good example of a staggered offense vs. staggered defense:
