The 2009 Windy City Cup Rocks Chicago!


Well, we've got another Windy City Cup under our belts, and I'd have to say we outdid ourselves from last year. What a great weekend we had! Before I get any further, I want to thank everyone that came out to compete, and I want to express a HUGE thanks to the local crew, especially Tom Whitworth, Zeke Ibardaloza, and Matty Sweeny. We could have never done it with out you guys!!

Navy Pier was gracious enough to host our event again this year. We moved our finals court to the North side of the front circle, where we saw an unbelievable amount of foot traffic. This was by far the best tournament I've ever had the pleasure of being involved with. Excellent work by the entire CLCK crew!!

Here's the results...
Singles
1. Jeremy Mirken (congrats JerBear!!)
2. Cory Current
3. Walt Houston
4. Ben Alston
5. Tom Whitworth
6. Zeke Ibardaloza
7. Sam Gregory

Congrats to PT and Manu- the new Windy City Cup Champions!

Thanks again to all that made the trip, to Navy Pier for hosting us, and to our sponsors: Fancy Footworks, ProKicker Footbags, The Store til 4, Communications Direct, and Chicago Scenic Studios, who once again provided the most bad ass labor crew and bleacher set-up ever seen at a footbag event. Oh, and one more time for Zeke and Tommy- you guys rock!

There will be more pictures to follow, I'm sure....

I think next year I am going to ask that my graphic design company "Another Design by Matt Sweeny" be included in the list of sponsors. All the printing and design work that I do for the WCC needs to be represented.

I agree.

BTW, my WCC write-up is in my "Zeke bitches about Net June 2009" topic
