LAUDERDALE RECAP
Twenty-six
teams enjoyed the plush facilities of the Bamford Sports complex,
which will also be the home for the World Cup Tournament in February.
The Bamford Sports complex is a 110-acre complex with ten lighted
fields and a swimming pool.
Two players from Venezuela made a guest appearance at the event
- Nelson Castillo and Corina Machaddo.
Both are members of the Venezuelan National Flag Football
teams, and visited the tournament to familiarize themselves with
the complex, and to learn the game from American players. The
players intention was to prepare their own country for the World
Cup competition.
Some
teams found the World Cup rules to be a challenge to adjust to.
The biggest adjustment was handing back the flag to your opponent
and not having your flags inverted. After the initial changes,
most teams adjusted accordingly and had a great time - as the
weather was a perfect sunny and 75 F.
In
the 7-Man Gold action, hometown team Zimmer Alliance prevailed. Zimmer went undefeated at 4-0, defeating the
Terminators of Tampa, FL 26-14 in the Championship game. Dave Gies was selected as the MVP for Zimmer,
and Kevin Adler was selected as the Terminators MVP.
In
the 4-Man Gold division, Ocala's ICM also went undefeated at 5-0,
winning the championship game 24-20 over Riptide of Miami, FL.
ICM MVP was Shedrick Burley. The 4-Man Women's division
was evenly matched, as no team went undefeated. Okoyes Fury of
Miami, FL came out on top by defeating the Law Offices of Stephens.
Lynn, Klein also of Miami, FL in an exciting 13-12 finish
for the crown. Okoyes Fury MVP selection was Jenny Boucek, and
Karen Gilbert was selected as the Law Offices MVP.
