WWMD? Message board strategy

[shmerham]

I play in an ultimate frisbee summer league. Our tournament is this weekend. We have an excellent team, poised to win it all. The league has a message board complete with smack talk. We lost a game pretty bad last week because we were short quite a few good players. That was great because we instantly dropped off the radar on the "who's the team to beat on saturday?" question. Somebody from the team that beat us just blew our cover though, mentioning that we were a tough match even with our two best players missing.

I've only posted on that board a couple times and no one knows who I am or what team I'm on. I was thinking about making a reasonable sounding post that would denounce our ability.

Should I do this in hopes that people will fall for it and think less of our team? ...or not with the possibility that further discussion regarding our team could come about?

[EPSkis]

No need to worry - post the address of the board here & I'm sure it'll get handled promptly.



(In any case - I think they'll be prepared for a difficult match..)

Under-promise and over-deliver.

Speak softly and carry a big stick.

Be humble. Say you're from the team and the team that beat y'all was very good and probably still would have taken you even with a full roster.

This way you don't look like a dick for trolling. And whether you win or lose you'll come across as a cool bunch.

And if you do win, make sure to put together a cheer involving Deez Nuts and touching your ass with one finger and making the TSSSSS!!!! sound.

the most important thing at any ultimate tournament is to win the party. seriously, its all that counts.

if you lose every game, but spank every team there in boat races you've got braggin rights for the rest of the year.

if you win the games and the party, thats a bonus.

Just keep watching "White Men Can't Jump" over and over until you start talking smack to yourself, like phUnk.

I'm no pro. Back in my hayday, I was a slurp, chug, finish guy. Usually about 8sec for two regulation keg cups. The key is the Rutland Grip.

My best event was the keg race. We had an 8 man team that could not be beat. We'd finish a 1/4 barrel without ever stopping the tap in about 25mins.

In school, we had an informal Friday afternoon league that lead to many a booting down on Church street.

Hey basom, what about winning the game after winning the boat race? +2?

Hate to break it to you, but ... a quarter barrel does not maketh a keg race.

[shmerham]

I definitely plan on winning a boat race for every game we don't win. Count me out on anchor duty though.

It's an awesome league. It's competitive and laid back at the same time. Everybody plays hard and as a result no one gives anyone shit about anything.

Whether you win it all or lose every game, the tournament day is great. There's a party, drinking out of frisbees (5 beers in one disc; bet you didn't know that) and a championship game with full-on heckling. You can't go wrong.

okay, i'll nominate mildbill for anchormang then, you can be right before him. bill is a two second gulp, no joke.

our lax team had a ritual where you have to finish one of those huge britta pitchers in ten min, after your first goal as a team member. you can puke as much as you want, but you gotta get it all in in ten min. one game we had five kids score their first goals. more projectile vomiting i have not seen. some guys got lucky with an oly or pbr keg for the drink up. my buddy max did not, an gallon and a half of haystack black, ten min. looked like he was puking oil.

ahh, good times.

Could someone please take the time to define the term "Boat Race" in it's current sense? Is it similar to a "safety meeting," nd if so, how do you "Win?"

2 key words: surface tension

line up with your team (usually 5 to 7) face to face with the competiotin. each teamate with a beer. a starter (non biased) chugs a beer to start. as soon as he flips his cup onto his head the two firsts guys for each team chug. you work your way down the line and the fastest team wins.
DQ'ed for spilling or not finishing and dumping the beer on your head.
good fun

No up and back? You private school kids are fags!

We used same rools sept you went down the line then back finishing with the first guy (or girl) two beer each. Hence the importance of the anchorman, he's gotta go back to back.

is it bad that a thread about boat racing gets me as riled up as the stokiest ski and bike threads?

and base, 2 seconds would be an off night. i was slow at kamar's party because we were drinking cold harpoon and i was almost blacked out.

edit: and yeah, it's down and back.

but then he's not really the anchormang, he's like the mang at the turn. in your rules the leadoff is the anchor.

i'd play with your rules if i wasn't gay.

FG, must be different in different regions of the country, like "pop" and "soda."

So if you're doing boat races, do the "midshipmen" have to yell "AHOY" before downing their cup, aaaand, do you fill them all the way or halfway?
