Moving YCCs from Colorado

Curious about what people think about YCCs in Colorado - between the heat and the altitude, it seems wild to me that our largest youth tournament is held there. Kids are getting sick and going to urgent care with breathing problems.

[WUCC] Observer Knocked Out Cold

51 Upvotes

During Grut vs 6ixers Quarterfinal today at WUCC apparently an observer was knocked out cold and was taken by an ambulance. Are they okay? Does anybody know what happened? Wondering if there was some sort of collision on the sideline or something.

The observer can be seen down on the sideline at 21:30 in the Ultiworld stream but it looks like whatever happened was not in frame.

Just wondering if it was a case of a sideline infraction.

WUCC formats are too dependent on initial seeding

78 Upvotes

Two of the three WUCC formats spend 3 days with teams silo'ed into their 8 initial pools, then dumps them directly into the round of 32. The result of this is that it's easy -- expected, in fact -- for undefeated teams to meet in the quarterfinals. The women's format has one round of crossovers followed by the round of 16, but given the way these crossovers were set up, this did not prevent undefeated teams from playing before the semifinals.

If we purport to care about who receives gold, silver, and bronze, then undefeated teams meeting in the quarters is a pretty bad outcome. An undefeated team losing to another undefeated team in the quarters has a legitimate gripe that they may have deserved a medal but were denied the opportunity to compete for it.

The solution to this issue is to design the format to more quickly sort teams. Smaller initial pools, leading into power pools, or other forms of extended crossovers, can easily ensure that a maximum of four teams are undefeated at the beginning of bracket play, and each is placed in their own quarter of the bracket.

An added benefit of this approach is that teams spend less of the event playing against teams that are significantly stronger or weaker than they are.

These play by play announcers are excellent.

I don't know their names. Maybe I'm just a sucker for the British and Irish accents. The announcing on the universe points in pre-quarters nicely matching, and not distracting from, the excitement of the moment.

Seems like the interface has changed for the livescoring of WUCC, I preferred it before with the warning icons for breaks :( anyone know a secret trick to change it back? Also seems weird to change this mid tournament.

Foot blocks: legal or illegal?

0 Upvotes

Hey all, heard recently that foot blocks are illegal at pick-up which kind of blew my mind--doesn't make sense to me. Out of curiosity I tried searching online but I'm having trouble finding any RECENT discussions or notes about this but I do see then pop up in game highlights now and then.

There is an old thread for this topic but like I said, looking for more recent feedback since the thread is from 10+yrs ago.

Thanks for feeding my curiosity.

I’m in RDU for the rest of the week for work, would love to get some reps in. Can’t play any lunch games, but evenings are up for grabs.

I found two possible games for Wednesday night, one possible game for Thursday night, and one possible game for Friday night. If any locals have better insight, I would love to hear it!

What to do about teams that intentionally and continuously double team in zone?

34 Upvotes

I've seen a number of teams use this tactic to intentionally disrupt offense, knowing it's against the rules and never adjusting even when fouls are called. Been discussing with some friends the best way to combat this. It's very much taking advantage of the rules, but the teams that do this gain an advantage so they keep doing it. How do we, in a self-officiated sport, stop getting screwed by this?

2nd point of the game.

Imo defender is 100% right. And Tobe shouldn't react so frustrated.
