 Los Angeles Wins Flag Football Tournament

There were only three teams, but in the first gay men's flag football tournament since the 1994 Gay Games, Los Angeles won the Gay Super Bowl, beating squads from Boston and San Francisco.

The two-day event was held April 27-28 in Los Angeles, and featured a round-robin format. In the first game, San Francisco jumped to an early lead and held off a late Boston rally to win, 26-12.

Los Angeles was dominant in its two games, beating San Francisco, 64-12, then Boston, 74-0, to take the title. (Jim Buzinski and Cyd Zeigler, Outsports founders, play for the Los Angeles team and organized the event). On the tournament's second day, the three teams pooled their players and had a blast playing 3 hours of pickup.

The tournament was the first of what is expected to be an annual event. The weather was perfect and Cheer LA provided cheerleading color. Boston has agreed to host next year's event, and teams from Atlanta and Chicago have already expressed interest in competing.

Anyone interested in organizing a team or general information should e-mail Los Angeles Motion flag football.
