By the Numbers
16 of 21. That's how many regional titles decided so far went to BE teams across all three divisions.
6 of 7. In the women's division, BE teams won six of the seven regions that have finished: Scandal, Pop, Riot, Molly Brown, Phoenix, and Fury all enter Nationals as region champs.
4 all-BE finals. Some regions were decided by BE vs. BE: Fury over Flipside 15-8 (SW women's), Johnny Bravo over Doublewide 15-11 (SC men's), Chain Lightning over Ring of Fire 13-11 (SE men's), and shame. over Disco Club 14-13 (SC mixed). Both teams in every one of those finals are headed to San Diego.
30-4. Scandal's combined score across their Mid-Atlantic semifinal and final. Dominant.
Clutch When It Counted
Not every ticket got punched easily, and those are our favourite stories. Minneapolis Pop took the North Central women's title by a single point, 14-13 over Madison Heist. Fort Collins shame. won a universe-point thriller over Disco Club. And Vancouver Furious George dropped their Northwest semi to Sockeye, regrouped, and took the last bid over Dark Star 15-11. Shoutout to every squad that fought for their spot.
Suited Up in APX
This season, a lot of these teams are playing in our APX kits for the very first time, including Atlanta Chain Lightning, San Diego Flipside, and Austin Disco Club, who all punched their tickets in it. Club ultimate is brutal on gear (two-day regionals, back-to-back games-to-go, layout after layout), and APX was built for it: a 92% recycled knit with a diamond-structured weave for durability without extra weight and 4-way stretch for full range of motion. Gear that lets teams stop thinking about their kit and just play their game.
