Ladies and Gentlemen, the time has come for the official announcement of the North and South teams for the 2012 North vs. South Challenge Cup. For the third consecutive year, the challenge will be held at the Central Florida Highland Games in Winter Springs, Florida on Saturday, January 19. First of all, South Captain Duncan McCallum and myself would like to thank everyone for their interest in this year's games. Choosing a roster of only five athletes proved to be a very daunting challenge for both of us, and inevitably we had to leave off some very talented athletes and friends. Further, upon some discussion between Duncan, K.C. Cummings and myself, we decided that the games should return to the original intent of the late Kay Cummings, who fashioned this challenge after the U.S. Civil War, and the involved states on each respective side. In doing so, we limited our selection to the states and districts as they appeared during the conflict. The teams... NORTH Beau Fay (Captain) - Washington, D.C. Jeff Kaste - New Hampshire John Davis - California Luke Crowley - Wisconsin John Collins - Maryland SOUTH Duncan McCallum (Captain) - Texas Mike Dickens - Texas Nathan Burchett - Missouri Isaac Burchett - Missouri Tom Sroka - South Carolina We're all looking forward to a great event with some big throws. The Northern team is especially excited about a weekend away from Old Man Winter's grasp in mid-January. Let the predictions begin...

Nice kick off Duncan, I am sure Beau will respond accordingly. Love the Mark Howe reference only an old timer could dig out. Have some incredible memories at this game. Teams are jacked from the captains down. I would love to see the battle, cause it will go down to the WOB. I miss the trophy. This is one of the best events in our sport that was established by legendary Kay. This will be so close I expect facial hair to make the difference.

This is why, with agreement from K.C., we decided to go with a clear format this year-- using a map after full Southern secession, taking into account Union, Confederate and border states. In any other year, the border states of Missouri and Maryland might not have come into play but with the Burchetts coming from Missouri and John Collins coming from Maryland we had to address the issue. Duncan took the Burchetts and I took John, splitting the border states. Of course, with Dickens moving back to Texas and Tom moving to South Carolina, their eligibility changed. Duncan and I had some lengthy discussions to determine a clear format, and knowing that Kay intended the N/S game to be of a certain historic element we wanted to honor his original intent. The idea of using the Mason/Dixon line and extending it westward was also discussed, but we found it to be messy and inaccurate. In the course of our team selection we were also faced with some other challenges, such as the classic "Hey, did you know I was actually BORN in ___________?" or "My father is from ______, does that make me eligible?" inquiries. We realize that it can be hard to create a perfect system, especially when people have represented different teams in past years, but we tried to keep things clear and fair this year by agreeing upon set boundaries and choosing accordingly.

What I'm getting from Beau's post is that there's no more Northern gerrymandering in an effort to claim their first victory.

So what was the final ruling on this? I assume you took the "born in" reason since Nathan lives in Iowa. Don't get my comments wrong, I'm not arguing anything. I just find it funny that with the history of success for the South Team in this, Duncan would grab a bunch of former Yankees ;)

Nathan Burchett on the South team... Really, the south? Being a Northerner and seeing that he currently lives in Iowa dang near the Minnesota border (about 25 miles by way the crow flys) ....... don't nobody learn geography nomore?
The South? ..........
In the spirit of Civil War history, were some families found themselves on both sides of the conflict, was an opportunity missed here!?!
Also in the spirit of Shrek --- Grab your touches and pitch (or sheaf) forks, we got our self's a rebel living in Iowa!
Looks like another interesting and competitive North South Competition

We've lost one for the North, as well. John Collins won't be able to make it as he is expecting his first child around the time of the games. North Team veteran Jason Thomas has kindly accepted the offer to be on the team.

I had a blast at North vs. South last year. Anybody that gets the chance to compete that has never been there should definitely try and make it work. I hope to get the chance to compete out there again before my HG career has ended, if it already hasn't.

I turn my back for a few minutes and what the hell is going on here?! Ohhhhhkay folks... updates. To this point, four guys have had to drop out from Team North. In the past couple of months we have sadly lost John Collins, John Davis, Luke Crowley and Jason Thomas. It has turned into quite a challenge for me to field a team. We finally have our new team set. Without further ado, I introduce to you Team North, Version 2.0. I feel very confident about our group and am appreciative that Brian, Bill and Nick have agreed to join our original cast of two. Jeff Kaste (New Hampshire) Nick Kahanic (New York) Brian Hare (Minnesota) Bill Waddell (New Hampshire) Beau Fay (Washington, DC) At the risk of sounding like I'm from Louisiana, laissez les bons temps rouler...

Short History lesson is indicated:
I lived in the great state of New Hampshire for about ten years. I first saw "Live Free or Die" on the NH license plate of the car I rented when flying to Massachusetts for a job interview and right there I knew New Hampshire would be my home when I got the job.
The motto came from a quote by New Hamphire's greatest Revolutionary War General, John Stark. Before his victory at the Battle of Bennington in 1777, he lead his troops to battle saying,
"There are your enemies, the Red Coats and the Tories. They are ours, or this night Molly Stark sleeps a widow!"
Later in life when his health prevented him from attending a reunion for this battle in 1809, he sent the following toast to be read in his absence:
"Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils"
"Live Free or Die" is now the official motto of the U.S. state of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Hampshire" rel="nofollow - New Hampshire , adopted in 1945!

For example, this is a "are you serious" gif:
