Over the weekend ~20 Open sectionals and ~20 Women's sectional tournaments were played (although it many of them had weather postponements).
I thought I'd scan through the Open results and find some highlights (I'll leave Women's to IC Ultimate). It's too bad that we don't have reporters at each of these tournaments to give us a feel for this stage of the series.
There were no major upsets in any of the sectionals so far with the majority of number one seeds keeping their seed. The most exciting games were the back door games for second place.

In the east plains section, OU's main two guys both had pretty bad arm injuries during the finals vs. us. One, arguably OU's best player, went to the hospital after badly injuring his arm/elbow. They probably put a few more points up on us and beat Miami if those guys arent hurt. Think a poor man's florida last year, sans Timmy and Kurt.
Conditions were pretty much the worst. Snowing/raining all of saturday, fairly high winds, really really cold. The feilds ended up comprised of 6" deep mud pits/puddles no grass to be seen anywhere. I would not be suprised if a lot of the sectionals results were skewed due to this weather.
