,M,,l . . 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. Congratula— tions are in order for the Condors and for Tom Kennedy for putting on such a well organized tournament; for the sheer fun of it.

The result, a larger crowd in attendance than the pre- vious year; with over 10,000 FOI people on hand Sunday to witness the overall richest tournament of 1984. Although the U.S. Open competition greatly overshadowed the festival events, the setting provided a unique opportunity for event goers to both watch and participate in a wide array of disc and Eootbag disciplines. Fortunately, the week's festivi- ties were blessed with blue skies and high energy. we would like to congratulate Judy Horowitz and Scott Zimmerman, the overall winners of the women's and open competition respectively.

FDI: I'm sure that a lot of the people out there are curious as to how you got the nickname "Stork"? STCRK: It was given to me during the first game between Rutgers and Princeton, the first intercollegiate ultimate game in history. Ironically, it is the playing field where Princeton and Rutgers played their first intercollegiate football game. There was well over a thousand people there that day and the fans were getting really enthused. The people were cheering each pull and every goal was absolutely screaming. The game was close all the way through. I came off the field after scoring a point and heard this chanting "STGRK, STORK, STERK". I really didn't connect it to me mtil I went back on the playing field and the chanting stopped. Apparently someone in the crowd had drawn the obvious anatomical connection. After that it kind...of caught on with the players. I looked into the nature of stork behaviour a bit and it seemed like an admirable enough bird so I just stuck with it. FDI: when did you start playing disc, Stork? STCRK: when I was five years old my father gave me what's listed in my baby book as a plastic flying saucer. It was probably a Pipco flying saucer. I assume that we played a good bit with it then because there are quite a few pictures of it around the house. There is a slide that I saw here the other day which shows me catching one, and it looks like I'm about six years old. I'm wearing one of PHOTO those old Indian bead belts, my fly is down, and I'm reaching Lp to grab a horseshoe crab pipco thats flying in. It looks like I'm about to take it an inverted delay, against the STARR spin, behind the back, but it's hard to say. FDI: Well I guess we'll never know for sure.

Four divisions were contested here for freestyle: Women——Once again Stacy Anderson and Carolyn Yabe walked away with this division. Talk began of eliminating a women's division because of the lack of compe- tition. Hopes are that mixed pairs will become the strong event for women to compete in.

Mixed Pairs-—John Houck and Gina Sample came from Austin, Texas to blow away the field. Their superbly choreographed routine displayed excellent use of skating type co—ops and use of music to enhance the performance. Open Pairs-—Nobody shined in this division leaving the "Blasters" PHOTO to defend their title as the World Pairs Champions. Houck and Elliot (4th place) showed the only signs of any major use of STARR music. Otherwise, the judging primarily relied on difficulty and execution.
