While Club Nationals offers up a very similar team list every year with mainstays like Fury and Ironside, Beach Nationals — now in its second year — allows for a great deal of creativity with its hybrid blend of competitive ultimate with laid-back beach vibes.
Here, we rank the team names from across all divisions at Beach Nationals. We’ll start with the worst.

This tier is rife with boring names and try-hards, and occasionally boring try-hards.

Baltimore Flatball Club
Comic Sands
Erie Brig
Opig (I get it, but not impressed)

Tier I
Gruntled (This should be a club name)
Ampersand (I can see this one being divisive. I like the word and the pun.)
Beach Please (Simple. Too simple? No. Just right.)
Believeland (Only works if they are from Cleveland. We assume they are.)
Locals (Different type of humor than Beach Please, but same strengths.)
Bottomless Brunch (Probably the best name.)
Rockford Beaches (Multiple levels of goodness here.)
