Summary 2006


"AOC 33% vol.", a tournament 'sunny side up' ...


Pussy Catch, the victors of the tournament
and 33 Tours, les organisateurs

On the 2nd and 3rd of September 2006, the Bordeaux club '33tours' organised its very first international Ultimate Tournament: the AOC 33%vol.

Romain and Sylvain, members of the tournament staff, give us their impressions:

"Nothing better than a good tournament in the sunshine to help forget that the holidays are finally over. Sport and fairplay were the keywords for each of the 10 participating teams (including two Spanish teams) of this first AOC. We were so lucky to have ideal conditions.
Pussy Catch came out on top and won the first trophy in a collectors series of the 10 Commandments of Ultimate Sport. Corocotta from Santander, Spain, went home with the fairplay prize.
The tournament was so successful that we would be delighted to organise it again for next year, and as the First Commandment of Ultimate states: "Every player wishing to play Ultimate: to the AOC is welcome"!
