I also have a bunch of catwalk photos of teams & people in my photoset. I have more coming, but I need some more editing time, so I only have the preview posted so far

It was an amazing opportunity to get up there and see things from a whole new perspective. I was absolutely amazed at how slow the frisbees from the full court shooters appeared to be from above!! Craziness!!

I'm starting to think that I'm the only person on the planet that loved Lunacy.

Lunacy was a great game behind the glass but an awful game to watch.

Okay, you've made me look at the catwalk photos from 2009, Lunacy, a much maligned game.

In retrospect (they say it takes twenty years to write history) I like it more than I thought I did.

Here's why:
The white regolith from the catwalk made for very cool photos. It made the competition pictures look like reverse images.

The game theory, where the goal was attached to your butt and close proximity made for vulnerability, was very high level. (though it made for many circle matches that looked like two dogs chasing each others tails)

Check it out.

Yeah, I miss it too.

Here are some other pics from Lunacy 2009.

Trinity,40, a team that I really miss.

MooreteP,
Hope you don't mind,
I 'borrowed' your overhead view and added to mine.
