The 2011 Roofball World Championship preview

Tomorrow, February 20th, the 13th annual Roofball World Championships will be played, and if you pay attention to our show, blog, facebook page or twitter feed, you know that Loren and I love us some roofball.

The WCs should see a full 24 player field with many of the usual suspects. Adam Willis, Casey Campbell and Buddy Emmons have 4 Roofball titles each. Steve Stupey has played in 5 tournaments and has finished in the top 3 all but once. There will also be a some players such as Travis Demers and Matt Azar who've come close to winning before but just can't make it over the hump...yet.

But this is a PMS blog so I wanted to concentrate on Loren and I.

Loren has played in 3 tournaments making it to the second round twice. With one more game he'll have the minimum number of games played to be listed on the record page. Loren hasn't gone deep in a tournament but he does have 3 Roofball Games Gold medals.

I've had the pleasure of winning two tournaments and finishing in the semifinals 3 times. I really have two goals entering this tournament.
1. To win, of course, is one of them, but this tournament means something more. Ask any long standing roofballer and they'll tell you this is the big one. It's also the one tournament I haven't won. A win here and I'll be the first roofball player to win all three tournaments.
2. I'm also looking to become the 7th roofball player to score 1000 career points. I sit 78 points away.
