DUFL in Daejon

Daegu is lucky enough to have some really cool people that started DUFL - Daegu Ultimate Frisbee League. When I joined this superior league, I had no idea what I was in for. A real, competitive, 150-person league, official jerseys, recorded stats... DUFL is the real deal. It's been a very fun season, and I'm sad to see it come to an end.

This past weekend, we had our final games of the regular season in Daejon. Although DUFL has Daegu in the name, there are 2 teams from other cities - 1 team from Busan and 1 team from Daejon, the other 5 are from Daegu. The games in Busan were actually played on the beach and were a blast! Playing on the sand was so liberating, and everyone was making dives and ambitious attempts.

When we arrived in Daejon, the field was not as glamorous as we had anticipated. Drew, sprawled out on a bench in his Snuggie showing his disappointment. Shortly after the games began, a group of older Korean men posted up a few feet from one of our end zones and started a warm-up routine. Some of the DUFL members joined in looking awesomely ridiculous. The weekend turned out to be full of competitive games and a fun night out with a group that doesn't typically party together.

There also happened to be a free "rock festival" happening on Saturday night, but by the time I got there, there was no sign of live music. It was only around midnight, and apparently the fest had been shut down for hours - some responsible party had not gotten noise permits, and everything had been shut down around 11:00. Still, it became a night of adventures.

After our game against Daejon (the team tied for first place with Busan), they instigated an interesting game. I have no idea what they call this game, but I refer to it as Sword Game. I didn't have a chance to grab my camera earlier, which is sad because this was way funnier when there were about 20 people playing. Still a taste, nonetheless!

Lastly, music choice of the week!
