Team Pink and the 007 Bangkok Hat

The Bangkok Soidawgz held our annual Ultimate Frisbee hat tournament last weekend. Instead of coming as teams, we had about 180 individuals from around the region come to Bangkok and get more or less randomly assigned to a team. I ended up on Team Pink, including a few Soidawgz from Bangkok, a few players from up north in Thailand and others from around SE Asia and China. We went 2-2 the first day, good enough for a late start on the second day. We went up against a 3-1 team and beat them barely, then took on the only 4-0 team from the first day and knocked them out, too. And suddenly we were in the Finals. Oddly enough, it was our easiest game (though we were already completely exhausted) and we took the victory 13-8. We all got medals and golf towels from one of our sponsors for the victory, and bragging rights until next year. Our annual hat is something we spend a few months working on every year and it came off without hardly a hitch this year. With any luck we even came out ahead on the finances.
