2010 World Footbag Championships Freestyle – NET

After two years in Europe (2008 Prague, 2009 Berlin) the World Footbag Championships were back to the US, precisely in Oakland, California. The venue for this tournament was directly inside the hotel, after a couple of days in a park nearby to play the preliminary matches. The huge conference areas at the Marriott in Oakland, CA were fitted with carpet and sport court and banners for sponsors. (Pro Kicker was there). It was very convenient for the players who stayed at the hotel to go back and forth, get rest quickly in the rooms, and  compete in the freestyle arena while enjoying the pool and the nice Californian weather.
