Memorial Day weekend added to Santa Barbara's reputation as the premier ultimate town in the west. Thirty one teams competed in the Classic, including an unprecedented ten women's teams. The weather was mild, although Sunday felt like a Summer day in a Louisiana bayou. The three—day tournament format allowed for longer rests between games which increased the playing intensity. As it turned out, Santa Barbara dominated their own tournament by winning both men's and women's divisions over the Boulder Stains and Eugene Dark Star respectively.
