Portland, OR - July 30-Aug. 1, 1999 |
The DBA team was Ron, Chris,
Lupe, Mike, and Ben. DBA ref'd 37 games on Saturday from 8:00am
to nearly 7:00pm, then another 22 games for the finals on Sunday
between 9:00am and 4:30pm. A total of 59 games! Reffing Portland
was truly a pleasure. For those of you who haven't tried it, do
so. Nothing gives you a better perspective on why honesty and integrity
are so important to our sport. DBA would like to congratulate the
winners and give a special thanks to all the players and teams who
went out and played a clean friendly tournament. It's teams like
you that ensure other teams will see reffing as an opportunity and
not a chore. We earned 100 seed points for reff'ing and, after this
tournament, Dynamite Bush Apes are now ranked 3rd in 5-man Amateur
(AAA) of the GWS. |

Fresno, CA - Sept. 24-26, 1999 |
The DBA team was Ron, Chris,
Lupe, Mike, and Ben. Lupe played with a broken leg and it was tough
to compensate when he could only get to the closest bunker. However,
one of the highlights of this tournament came from Lupe in our final
first-round game against Black Sunday. After a trade-for-trade game
it came down to one-on-one. From the same bunker he started in,
Lupe eliminated the last player and then had to hobble across the
field, get the flag, and hang it with just seconds remaining. Unfortunately,
DBA only won two of nine first round games, finished first round
with 313 pts. and ranked 8th in our preliminary division. The top
six teams advanced to the Finals. DBA finished the tournament 8th
overall in the AAA Division. AAA teams opposing the DBA included
Iron Kids, Top Gun, Outsiders Hazel, Zero Tolerance, Team Caution,
USA All Stars, Phoenix Heat 1, Deja vu, and Black Sunday. After
this tournament Dynamite Bush Apes are ranked 4th in 5-man Amateur
of the GWS. |

Aloha! The DBA team was Ron,
Chris, Lupe, Mike, and Ben. DBA won only one of six first round

the Iron Kids and gave them their only loss of the first round.
As fun as that was, it just wasn't enough, and DBA finished the
first round and overall in the tournament ranked 8th in the AAA
Division.. The top six teams advanced to the Finals. AAA teams opposing
the DBA included The Family, X-men Black, Action Zone, Iron Kids,
Outsiders Hazel, and Phoenix Heat 1. After this tournament Dynamite
