Tournament Recap: Capital Men's/Mixed Sectionals

Tournament Recap: Capital Men's/Mixed Sectionals

This past weekend, SAVAGE headed to the Capital Men's and Mixed Sectionals in Fredericksburg, VA. We did a little more than just sell this weekend. We parked our tent right next to the field that Richmond Floodwall played on all day so we could support two of our awesome employees—Keys Pattie and Austin Bartenstein—as they battled it out for a bid to the Mid-Atlantic Club Regionals.

Floodwall did just that by making it to the finals against Medicine Men. However, they came out just short of a win with a final score of 11-14. Floodwall will be heading to Mid-Atlantic Club Regionals in Reston, VA on September 10-11. On the mixed side of things, Sparkle Ponies took the crown and will be heading to Reston along with all the other Men's and Mixed teams that locked down a bid to Regionals.

SAVAGE also debuted our new Mystery Bags over the weekend! A super secret jersey or shirt inside of an awesome SAVAGE drawstring bag! What more could you possibly want? Keep an eye out for more SAVAGE mystery bags at upcoming tournaments.

2016 Major League Quidditch Championships Recap

2016 Major League Quidditch Championships Recap

 

This past weekend SAVAGE headed to beautiful League City, Texas to set up shop as the official apparel partner of the 2016 Major League Quidditch Championship. 14 MLQ teams battled it out in a two-day bracket-style championship at Hometown Heroes Park.

On the first day, League City gave us a beautiful day for Quidditch. Food trucks, vendors, longtime fans, and first-time viewing locals lined up at the field site to witness the amazing game play that took place. Unfortunately, day two didn't have the same weather. However, the pouring rain didn't stop these players—at least no longer than the brief lightning delay. After a long and hard-fought weekend, the Boston Night Riders prevailed victorious for the second year in a row, taking home the Benepe Cup.

Not long after the finals, all the teams hosed off all the mud they had caked on throughout the day and headed back to their respective homes in preparation for the next season.

Viva Las Vegas: 2016 Ultimate Dodgeball Championship Recap

Viva Las Vegas: 2016 Ultimate Dodgeball Championship Recap

Last weekend SAVAGE spent four days in Las Vegas as the official merchandiser of Sky Zone’s 2016 Ultimate Dodgeball Championship. The tournament brought together the top 53 trampoline dodgeball teams from three different countries to compete for a grand prize of $50,000. Not only did SAVAGE set up a booth and sell apparel, we also provided staff polos and referee jerseys. 

Unfamiliar with the sport? Take gym class dodgeball and mix it with elite athletes, then go ahead and add floors and walls made entirely of trampolines. These ingredients combine to make one exciting sport for both the players and the spectators.


The first two days of the tournament consisted of round robin play to establish seeding. The third day began the start of bracket play. Early Sunday morning, the final day of the tournament, the top eight teams received full sublimation SAVAGE jerseys to play in. While all the teams fought extremely hard, the championship went to DOOM for the second year in a row.

 Congratulations to all the qualifying teams. SAVAGE can’t wait to see you all in Vegas again next year!

Iguanas, Sloths, and Frisbee, Oh My! Recap on the 2016 Volcanic Tournament

Iguanas, Sloths, and Frisbee, Oh My! Recap on the 2016 Volcanic Tournament
Sloth
The Volcanic tournament down in Costa Rica just wrapped up its 9th year this past Memorial Day weekend and SAVAGE was lucky enough to be able to not only provide gear for the tournament, but also got to send one of our own to play in the tournament. Volcanic is a great way to not only enjoy a weekend full of good Ultimate, but also allows those from out of the country to delve into the Costa Rican culture through way of exploring some of the beautiful rainforest, tasting some of the traditional cuisine and of course by developing friendships with some amazing people.
Every year this tournament is comprised of a group of ultimate players from around the world. Each team (this year had the tournament's largest turnout with 7 teams) is made up of a mixture of half Costa Ricans and half foreigners of all skill levels and backgrounds. The first game, as in any hat tournament, is definitely the most difficult as you learn how to play with the people on your team, except now there is also the added struggle of a language barrier. Fortunately for non-Spanish speakers, most of the Costa Ricans can speak high-level English, and if not, there’s typically at least one person on your team who can get away with their Spanish speaking skills.
The first day, after everyone arrived, was spent seeing some of the country as the group was taken on In the rainforest canopy during the Ecoglide zip line toura nature walk through the rainforest. Carlos and his brother, Fico, who put on the tournament every year, were very informative, sharing all sorts of information about the different plants and wildlife that were crossed throughout the hike. After the hike, there was an optional treetop zip line tour followed by a traditional Costa Rican lunch of Casado, which is a plate of rice, beans, choice of meat, and fried plantains. That evening, the Costa Ricans joined the rest of the group for a late night pickup game before the tournament was to start the next day.

Saturday morning everyone was up bright and early to get started on pool play games. Each team played four games to 13, with only one team making through the day undefeated. The first several games had beautiful weather, albeit a bit hot and humid, but as you should expect in the rainforest, a heavy rainfall shortened the last round of games. That evening, after everyone was showered and rested, the tournament party was held in a covered outdoor area at the resort. Everyone got together to drink some of the local Imperial beer (or tequila if that was your preference), dance, play drinking games, and even do a bit of human bouldering.
It was a late night for some, but everyone (well, almost everyone) was up again the next morning to get a start on bracket play of the tournament.Hanging out at the hot springs Sunday had only two rounds of games; the first round had the top 4 teams from Saturday compete in the semi finals. The Red team, who was seeded first, won handedly in their game, while the Gold and Lime Green teams, the 2nd and 3rd seeds, battled it out in a game that went to universe. Gold came out on top to play Red in the championship game but in the end, Red ended up winning it all. The rest of the day was spent relaxing and hanging out with everyone at the Hot Springs nearby to rest sore bodies and get ready to head back to the real world.
The Volcanic experience is one to be had; anyone who has attended would highly recommend going, as there are many who go every year. It is a great chance to see a new place, take in a new culture and play ultimate with a bunch of new friends. It truly was amazing to see how all of these different teams quickly morphed into one big family as the week went by and I’m thankful that I was able to be a part of it. Until next year Costa Rica, until next year...
