2008 Frostbite Figure 8 Recap

Posted in talesfromthefoot.comLeave a comment

The 2008 Frostbite Figure 8 Tournament was last weekend. I wasn’t able to attend, but based on what I’ve heard, the weather was much better than expected. 45ish, blue skies and just a little wind. Much better than the anticipated weather of snow or rain and clouds. A little more wind than people wanted, but it could have been much worse.

UW-Stout did a good hosting the tournament once again. The results were:

  • 1st Place – Matt Hoeft
  • 2nd Place – Aaron Schoelzel
  • 3rd Place – Nate Birchler

The after parties must have been pretty good based on the drunk dials I received. Over at BFC Aaron Schoelzel posted a good recap with some added comentary from Footstock Dave. For more details of the shanigans from the weekend, go check out the BFC.com story.
