Thanks to everyone who came to Copa del Soul 2011 in the erratic weather of Ingoldmells!
The winners, somewhat expectedly and reassuringly were the GB Open team playing with themselves (again GB Open 2) in a rain drenched final just like last year. The overall event was bright and sunny though and saw many a massive lightning storm bypass us on Saturday! Both parties were epic ending shortly past 3am both nights and leaving many competitors feeling the burn the following day but all in the spirit of the event and in the spirit of beach ultimate. BULA would have been proud! The results! Winners...GB Open B 2nd GB Open G 3rd GB Mixed Masters Great work by GB teams scoring so high up in their prep for Worlds in August! Plate was won by Cambridge, the Spoon by Red and the Party award hard earned by Razzle Dazzle for their recreation of the moon landing. The most important award, that being the BULA Spirit of the Game, was claimed by the GB Women squad! They received some gear donated kindly by Discraft! Special mention goes to UCL and Superfly who tied for 2nd place in spirit. Thanks to sponsors of the event Joe's Beach Bar (http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_185155488184213), Discraft (www.discraft.com) and of course Lookfly (www.lookfly.com) and also to Andy Moss and Tom Styles for bringing some BlockStack (www.blockstack.tv) photography and entertainment to the party! Lastly, apologies for the food and shower issues. I'll be taking up the shower issues with provider as they did not arrive setup properly and I had to become the resident plummer to get them straight. The food issue for the 1st breakfast was largely due to people queueing twice for it. We sold 200 food packages and served almost 300 people with wristbands which meant we didn't have the staff to accommodate it. The sunday lunch issue was a communication issue between the bar staff. Sorry for the late service but I hope you all enjoyed the massive sunday roast provided in the end. Steps have already been taken to fix any and all problems for 2012 and add in much more special events and offers! I hope to see you all there.
