WINDMILL WINDUP, where you had to be, FROM A TO Z !

A tourney report, written from A to Z, because there's so much to say about the amazing Windmill Windup. Huge thumbs up and thanks to the entire crew .

Amsterdam (City of dreams, where all this madness takes place) ,

Accuracy competition (throwing competition during finals, pretty funny to throw your disc to a cycling elephant)

Beerrace (pretty funny drinking game seen at many tourney's) ,

Cash Machine ("hey I'm out of money", "no worries, just go to the helpdesk and get some cash" -> amazing !!) ,

Cocktails (made by beautiful ladies, brought to you at the table, how great can it get ?)

Charity Huck Competition (during halftime, 2700€ donated to charity by the WW sponsors, once again won by the amazing thrower Luca from Freespeed !),

Crunch (one of the amazing organising teams)

Dunktank (not such a great succes as last year due to some bad weather, but funny like hell to see somebody get dropped in the water by a good throw.)

Details (you know you saw some, it's amazing how these Dutchies have eye for detail, everything was fixed down to the bone !)

Elephant (the logo of WW, also attending the tourney in huge inflatable style, unthinkable to go to WW without having the elephant there, you know the one that has been on the disc you get every year !)

Ecological (separated trash, recycled printing paper, trying to have as few impact on the environment as possible)

Efficient (seemed like nobody was stressings since all was arranged so well in advance !)

Food (nice food,freshly made),

Fun (yeah,big Fun !) ,

Fields (great fields, about a billion next to eachother, of which none seemed to flood after heavy rainfall...)

Grass (is greener in Holland :) )

High Level (top level European teams, 23 national teams !!!!), Hamburgers (yeah, gotta love 'em)

Joints (hey, it's the Netherlands right...)

Kool. (and even if written with a K, you can't argue with me that this isn't a kool tourney. damn right.)

Lookfly (official sponsor of WW, selling cool WW pimped gear !),

Livescoring (on the WW website, for all your fans at home to follow your every win/defeat),

Live comments (during finals,keeping you up to date),

Lunch (no need to worry for lunch, just pack yours in the morning and you'll never be hungry!)

Mingle Mingle Mingle (legendary game, lead by Mister Tom himself !, y'all know it ),

Mixed division (the second biggest mixed division in European tourney's right after Talampaya),

MISTER STEEL (our new hero, who never had an 'encore-we want more' cheering but had his mind blown last weekend with the crazy WW crowd and the Gentle team who kind of started the whole partying !)

Nuts (one of the amazing organising teams)

One place (all this madness, in just one place, where the tent,fields,party,campsite,toilets,showers and everything is within 150meters, that pretty amazing if you ask me),

Open division (top European tournament, this is where you wanna go with your team to be tested...)

Potatoes (hot potatoes with special filling, local Dutch specialty and oh so nice)

Quality and Quantity (says enough doesn't it ?)

Radiostation (mister Snowy D talking you through an entire weekend of Ultimate frisbee and playing all the hits you wanna hear at a tourney, great stuff man),

Rain (WW2011 had a little too much of this, but hey, we still loved it...) ,

Reverse graffiti (have I told you the WW crew is cool ? well here's the proof, they made graffiti by cleaning the floor !)

Swiss Draw (brilliant concept made by the ever brilliant swiss allowing you to end up where you belong and play games that are hard and thigt, and where every,every point is as important as any other....),

Shirt Canon (they thought of everything and pleased the crowd with a Lookfly shirt canon shooting free t-shirts into the crowd during finals),

Stadium (a stadium for the crowd to enjoy finals in a nice comfy plastic seat, they just keep getting bigger and better !) ,

Shortfilmfestival (during diner on saturday, makes you feel right at home while eating dinner in front of the TV),

Sponsors (big sponsors like Bavaria and Lookfly and Buggaboo for providing all the WW guests with our every needs, and they managed to pull it off !)

Text messages (no need to worry when your next game is starting, at the end of every game you receive an automatic text message on your mobile phone stating the time and location of your next game. Brilliant !),

Twitter (social media platform where one could follow all info about WW),

Tents (big ones to host around 1200 players),

Tom (the red haired guy you've seen all weekend, quite legendary and maybe the face of the Windmill Windup !)

ULTIMATE (the game we all love, what brings us together at tourney's like WW)

Volunteers (and a whole bunch of them, who have all been named during the price ceremony even though it was raining, respect to them, cause without all of these no WW..),

Videos (every move you make is recorded by Mr Bicyclemark and edited into some brilliant videos you can find on youtube- and at Get Horizontal off course !)

WINDMILL WINDUP , according to the TD's : "Windmill is kind of a national symbol in the Netherlands. Windup refers to a spring-loaded windup toy - you wind it up and then it's energised for action. Also a Windup is a humourous provocative tease. Windup for a huck, windup for a big weekend, lots of wind in NL, we love alliteration, and this way we can call it the windmill AND the windup. Or something like that.", Winners : FAB (Switzerland, Open division) , Deutschland Mixed Team (Mixed division) ,GB Women's team !

Xtra cool, extra big fun. At WW most things you see, you don't see them at any other tourney's. WW has that extra touch that makes it so worth going there.

Yeah ! (need I explain ? you might wanna read all of the above..)

Zeus (if frisbee tourneys were ancient Greek gods, Windmill Windup might be Zeus.)

From A to Z, in 2012 Windmill Windup is where you have to be.
