After intense Summer Tour moments the Open Division looks very solid and close as a whole with the undefeated Mooncatchers headlining the bunch. Clapham, BFD La Fotta and Wall City rounding out the top seeds. It will be an intense competition in all pools. Let us know what pools you would select to get the best option for your favourite team.
Women's Division
1. YAKA (Noisy-Le-Sec)
2. BFD Shout (Bologna) - Defending champions
3. 3SB (České Budějovice)

12. LMU (London)
13. FABulous (Bern)
14. Box Vienna Ultimate (Vienna)
15. JetSet LUV (Leuven)*
16. WUF. (Bruges)
Some said this will be the most tense division this year. Where do you draw the line of teams who have no chance for a medal? YAKA leads the Women's Division, BFD Shout the defending champions and an impressive season by 3SB brings them a position in the top 3. JinX Midnight was probably happy to see the number 4 popping up after their loss against Troubles in a single game affected their ranking quite a bit. It will be interesting to see how the World Championships (WUC) in Australia will impact the club competition.
*Smog declined their bid and JetSet was ranked 1st on the waiting list
