The “whoop” cut.

Labor Day finals 2011

Favorite game or tournament moment outside of Revolver:
College Regionals in Vancouver with EGO, 2006. 2 bids to nationals. The team was really young with 9 true freshmen we went in seeded 3rd behind Stanford and UBC. Saturday started miserably cold, windy, and rainy. Pool play games against Stanford-B and Humboldt went relatively easily. Whitman’s morale had been decimated by the weather and injuries. We finished the game very fast, setting up a 2-hour bye before our crossover game against UBC. We spent the bye in a laundromat, drying our clothes and refueling, then opened the game against UBC with 3 straight breaks — since known as a “laundromat” — before fighting out to a 15-11 victory. Beating UBC set up a finals against Stanford, who we beat 15-10 to take the first bid to Nationals!
