The pools have been announced for the Third Annual Chuck Hermann Memorial Ultimate Tournament. Last year's tournament saw A Capella Ultimate make a strong run at the championship only to see a second half comeback thwarted on universe point. They now return as the number two overall seed and top seed in Pool B.
The pool includes:
1. A Capella Ultimate
2. Mighty Platypi
3. Maple Grove Disc Club
4. Victorious Secret
Pool A includes:
1. Critical Point
2. Discepticons
3. Above All Roofing
4. Average Hucks
Maple Grove will be making their first appearance in the tournament as the number three seed in Pool B. The format for the CHM Tournament is unlike any other tournament.
Pool play will consist of two 15 minute running time halves with a 5 minute halftime.
Each team is allowed one timeout per half and no timeouts in overtime.
In the case of a tie, a sudden death overtime (universe) point will be played for the victory
A disc toss will determine possession in overtime
It remains to be seen if this type of game format will help or hinder the Floppy Discs, but what is certain is that they won't have much leeway. The tournament allows for only the top two seeds from each pool to move on to the semifinals. A Capella was undefeated in pool play last year and have only improved this season. Assuming they sweep the pool that leaves only two games for the Discs, both must wins in order to secure the two seed.
Next Thursday's scrimmage against A Capella will not only be an early viewing of their second opponent, but also a great warm-up for the type of competition they will face in the tournament.
