Quoted from TD's e-mail on 11/23/2009:
Celebracion has come and gone and I'm already in post tournament depression mode. Thank you all for putting in a bid and for making this a very fun Celebracion Del Espiritu 2009. I'm sure we'll be back in 2010.

Congratulations to Sparky Grape, 2009 Winner. They went undefeated the whole weekend with great spirit and great fun.

The other great story of the tournament is Antonio Suarez from Monterrey in Mexico. Last year his whole team from Mexico come out but this year they were unable to make it so this year he HITCHHIKED all the way from Monterrey just to be able to play again. I dropped him off by the highway this morning to hitchhike home and he said it was totally worth it and that he's going to do it again next year. Thanks to Stabby McRobot for picking him up and having a great time.

We had rented nice fields which were lined (thus just needing to put cones down) but unfortunately the weather kept us from using them. This caused us to have to walk out fields and I apologize that I had not recruited an adequate number of volunteers to make this happen and for us to start on time.

With all that said, let me know what you liked, what did we do right that you want to see again. Also let us know what we could improve on. We're never going to get it perfect but we're always trying to make good tourneys happen.

Proud to be an ulti player, okay an ulti organizer :)
