Ultimate update

That's ultimate as in ultimate frisbee, not as in last post of the evening. I've returned from the game Cameron was unable to attend. As our captain's email wasn't working today, the team had only the minimum three people show up to play. The other team had 6 guys ready to play, so we decided to pick up a player from the last game, a 7 point penalty. However, a guy on their team saw what we were doing and protested that the player we were picking up was above the skill level of the players we were missing. He justified his protest based on the fact that it was playoffs. So it looked like we were not going to pick him up. As our team grumbled the protester said we could have him for 10 points, and we agreed, although we did declare that it was a cheap move. Game time came around and the other team was a little slow getting to the line. We mostly jokingly called delay of game and claimed three points (10 minus 7, that is). Normally, the pick-up penalty is given to the opposing team at the beginning of the game. However, their team declined to do this, saying they would add the points at the end. Our team played well and the final real score was 43-34. I took off to catch a bus and therefore do not know who won, because I do not know how many points will be claimed for our pick-up. I hope to find out in the next couple of days what the result is. It will have a great effect on the playoff schedules for both teams.
