Hi, here is a report from down under. Although I have edited somethings out, it seems to be going ok. On the roster are 11 guys currently on Sub Zero, 2 fish from Seattle, and 3 Sub Zero alum: 2 recent alums, 1 from the 99/00 era. So 16 guys.

Zero will be up against Buzz Bullets in the semis of Worlds**.

Stolen from an e-mail:

Yesterday, Zero had a close game against clapham. Clapham took half 9-8, but we
held together and went on a run in the second half to win the game 14-12. We
were capped due (I think) to the game before us going over time.

We all left the game feeling we had done our best yet. One player on clapham
kneed andrew B in the thigh early in the game and (seriously) bit Naz in the
shoulder later in that game. Not surprisingly, Todd got into (and won) a battle
of words with ther goon during the turning point of the game.

Seth Crockford started out on their stud (also called Naz, black dude from
France). Seth contained him well. Later Kyle switched to cover him and totally
tooled the guy-- scoring two over his head and D'ing him besides. Kyle has been
super sick for the last 3-4 games, nearly 100% throwing and catching and D'ing
everything high. Good thing cause he is the only depp we got....

Naz had a great game versus clapham, he even laid out!

Today was Quarters against fakulti ("faculty") a young tall and aggressive
team from Sydney. They threw a twisted metal-esque zone and made deep throws.
It was a crazy cross wind. We got the first 5 breaks on the backs of great
hucks from Will Henry and Todd O. Then we carried on to a 17-10 win. Mad props
to Kyle again for catching everything up high, even the crazy blades.

Tomorrow we get the buzz bullets again. Lucky for us we are literally a
different team than last time we played them. We are nursing a few injuries but
otherwise we are doing OK.

Other notes:

Potter has no TO's and 3-4 Ds

John S dominated the trade night.

Everyone is starting to take ice baths before bed to reduce the swelling. [I am not sure if they are all taking them together or not]

They have great beer down here.

the temp ranges from 70-90, sometimes clopudy, sometimes very windy. Very UPA
national esque.

Wish us luck.

Thanks for the recap! It seems there's been surprisingly little info coming out of Worlds besides the scores, so your descriptions are much appreciated. Keep them coming...

Good luck today!
