Fall League (Night Ultimate Frisbee)

IAUA's Fall Ultimate Frisbee League plays under the lights at Union Field. We had a game last night, Friday October 14, 2016. I had a new tripod for my camera that I wanted to try out. Thus, some pictures. It was in the 40s, so people were semi-bundled up.

The teams all have Halloween/Horror/Ultimate names. Our team was Horror Flicks, and we were playing the Zone Zombies. The other two teams were Frankenstein's Monster D and the Man-D, Candy Corn.

The game was close. We traded the lead a few times. Towards the end it was tied at 14-14, with the game to 15, but because of the limited time left, it became a universe point (i.e., next point wins the game, instead of win by 2). It was very close, that last point took several minutes with both teams coming close to scoring. We did win, but it easily could have gone to either team. It was a fun game.
