Annual Student Ultimate Tournament

From the unofficial Duke TIP Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

A Duke campus tradition, the Student Tournament consists of completely student organized Ultimate teams competing for a spot to organize and captain the Student/Staff Game. The event didn't occur during Term I at Duke East 2005, much to the general unrest of Fourth Years and Ulimateers across campus. The number of teams can be as few as four, and as high as eight. It's really up to the students, the only thing Staff members participate in is designing pool play and the final bracket.

Teams

Duke East

2011

Term II

  • CHAMPIONS - Lazer Dragons
  • RUNNER UP - The Raving Mammoths
  • The 2011 Lazer Dragons were led by Frisbee Holder Robbie Powell and his roommate/co-captain Nick Mast. As expected, this team rolled through the student tournament and reached the Staff/Student Game, where the Dragons represented the students for the 4th year in a row (5th if you count Swine '09). Led by Robbie and Nick, the team started Jay King, Leon Chambers, Mike "TV" Cooper, Valerie Davis, and Alexis Jones, and beat the Staff 15-9 amid a chorus of "leggos!"

Term I

  • CHAMPIONS - Watercolors (Russell Gray, James "Socks" Rowan, Christian Krueger, James Walker, Foster Starks, etc.)
  • RUNNER UP - Sam's Club
  • OTHER:
  • Paint Splatters
  • GKA
  • Whales without Tails

2010

Term II

  • CHAMPIONS - Lazer Dragons
  • RUNNER UP - Playboyz
  • The 2010 Lazer Dragons got off to a rough start, with dispute over the name between Frisbee Holder David Freed and his co-captain Steve (leading the team to abandon the Lazer tradition and take the name the Chupacabros). However, after the Lazer Dragon title was taken up by Griffin Katz and Anmol Sinho, there was a change of mind and the two teams played for the title of the Lazer Dragons. The Chupacabros went up 8-0 and never trailed in winning 15-7. Afterwards, they were re-named the Lazer Dragons and the other team became "The Team Formerly Known as the Lazer Dragons". The newly revitalized Lazer Dragons went on to beat the crap out of every other team in the tournament to reach the staff game easily. Led by David Freed and Nico Lake and unofficially coached by Griffin Katz, the Lazer Dragons rolled twenty deep with David, Nico, Mehul Mehta, Nitis Udornpim, Peter Eivaz, Bronwyn Fadem, and Chuckie Allen starting. The staff never had a chance, as the team scored almost at will with the final score being 15-3, quite possibly the biggest blowout in student-staff game history. Afterwards, the Lazer Dragons performed the official team song ("Big Booty Bitches") and left TiP with their own message of champions- ¡Yeeeeaaah!.

2009

Term I

  • CHAMPIONS - Watercolors
  • RUNNER UP - Ejected

Term II

  • Due to the early closing of camp, the student-staff tournament was not completed. A pickup game against the staff was played, however. The remaining Frisbee players the day after the closing of campus went up against the entirety of the staff and lost by a scant two points. It can be inferred by this that if an actual team had played, the staff would have been destroyed. The impromptu team consisted of Aaron Shinn, Danny Richey, Mehul Mehta, Zach Taylor, Patrick Russell, Bronwyn Fadem, Alli Schloeman, Steven Boyd, and Anthony Fernandez. The team was led by Laser Dragon Captain Phillip Geist, who played the entire game and was generally a competent captain as seen by the spectators.

Duke West

Duke West also has a tournament though the RC's have started to limit games to 7 instead of 15. ** Note: The Team Team has ALWAYS won

2011

Term I

Note: it was widely accepted that the Anonymous Decepticons and the Sons of Jesus and Daughter should have been the student team champions. Sadly, this was not the case.

  • CHAMPION Armageddon (Samir, Nigel, Harlie, Pranav, Joseph, Zumil, Jacob, Sam, Tate, Dylan, and Alan). Though Armageddon was not able to defeat the staff squad, they were able the beat the SOJAD. In doing so they were crowned champions of the Annual Student Ultimate Tournament.
  • SECOND PLACE Sons of Jesus and Daughter (1 of 2 fourth year teams) The team, consisting mainly of Sean's Monarchs with a few third years, was originally known as the Sons of Jesus, but with the addition of their only girl, Ellen Yuan, they had to change the name. She obviously helped the team a lot, scoring a quite a few points throughout the tournament, and was tots the reason they beat the staff. After getting second place in the student championship to Armageddon, SOJAD soundly destroyed the staff in the final match.The fourth years went out as winners! :) Noice ... Indeed.
  • THIRD PLACE Anonymous Decepticons- headed by Samip and Fawwad.
  • N/A SKaters Gators. They dropped out before the tournament even started. Team motto: "Quit before you lose"

Term II

The Team Team, having won during West Term II 2008, was looking for a repeat performance with a team of entirely fourth years in the tournament. After having a bye and defeating AznInvazn, the team would face the Tyler Vance and the Thundercats, who were looking good after beating Zulu Force in an upset. The championship round opened with an early Thundercats 4-1 lead, but after the Team Team gained a 5-4 advantage, the teams traded touchdowns until the score was 6-6. With the Team Team in control, a play called Helicopter was performed, after which Brett Downey successfully passed across the entire field to Evan Baker, covered by three Thundercats, to win the game.
