2010 WORLD FOOTBAG CHAMPIONSHIPS AND 2010 US OPEN FREESTYLE FOOTBAG CHAMPIONSHIPS ANNOUNCED!

It's official! Two great events have been announced today. After months of wondering where it was going to happen, it has been announced that the World Footbag Championships will again be held in the Bay Area; Oakland California to be exact. There was much speculation on the event this year, but in the zero hour our good friend and Marketing Director for the IFPA (International Footbag Players Association) threw in his bid for Oakland California. Presumedly the event will be hosted by the Chaos Footbag Group, as well as the Bay Area Footbag League. Here are the dates and details;

If this wasn't exciting news enough, another great announcement (and tie in to Worlds) was posted shortly after the initial Worlds notification. In association with the Chris Ott (the director of Worlds), the Sole Purpose Footbag Group will be hosting the 2010 US Open Freestyle Footbag Championships one week before Worlds (July 24th-26th). The US Open is one of the largest footbag events in North America, and the only one that crowns a US Champion for footbag. The idea is that a 'circuit' is being created between the two major events. Along with the US Open will be the annual Water Temple Jam, held ceremoniously after the official tournament completes. In the five days between the end of the US Open Championships and the beginning of Worlds Championships, freestyle footbag players are being invited to train in Portland for the big event starting the next week. This is being billed as the 'Sumer of Footbag', truly a very exciting two weeks in the sport of footbag. If you are a footbag player, these two events are something to seriously consider! Here are the details on the US Open Freestyle Footbag Championships;
