Flight management lands at IIM-A as frisbee tourney takes off

It was tough competition at the Ultimate Frisbee Challenge held at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad (IIM-A).

But it was the spirit of the game that showed through in the end. The two-day tournament kick-started in the Louis Kahn Plaza at IIM-A on Saturday evening. Three teams Storm Chasers from Mumbai, Flying Dutchmen of IIM-A and The Indicorps of the Ahmedabad Ultimate Association competed for a birth in the finals that will be played out on Sunday.

The team members of Storm Chasers said the tournament gave them an opportunity to meet Indicorps and the students of IIM-A.
Captain of the team, Sanal Rai said IIM-A has taken a great initiative by organising the tournament.  "We are loving it and are happy that we got an opportunity to meet IIM-A players and the Indicorps."  He said he had often communicated with the Ahmedabad Ultimate Association but never met them.

"Now thanks to the tournament we have finally met," said Rai.
The Indicorps gave a tough challenge to Storm Chasers in the first match. A team member of the Indicorps and founder of the Ahmedabad Ultimate Association Roopal Shah said the objective of the association was to bring various communities together through the unique game. 

Echoing similar sentiments a team member of the Flying Dutchmen, Salman Siddeeque Ali said that the important thing was to create a platform for youths to network. Which of the two teams made it to the final was not known at the time of going to print.
