To celebrate Canada Day, we decided to play in a unique Ultimate tournament called Elimination Eights. It is a normal game of ultimate except for two interesting quirks.

And one to go. Monday, my friend Calvin finally married his girlfriend, Jorce (pronounced "joss").

Shortly after, Margo, Doug, Erica, Byron, Jackie, Kath, Janet, Dave and Lisa arrived.

Our first, and as it turns out, only game was a Jello boat race. Turns out my inability to chug beer...
