“Throw away outcome” may not be the mantra you expect to carry a team to win a National Championship. Yet this mantra was part of the artful strategy that won #1 Seattle BFG their first national title in program history.
Even though being the top team in the Power Rankings implies BFG’s win was well within the realm of possibility if not outright expected, many people familiar with the mixed division expected bigger name teams with flashier rosters — like #2 Seattle Mixtape or #5 Washington D.C. Space Heater — to outshine them on the national stage. BFG took “trusting the process” to a whole new level throughout the course of their 2021 season, however, and proved that you can win it all by making a game plan and sticking to it.
With such a strong commitment to playing their game–both meticulously structured and nimble to respond to challenges as they arose–and with buy-in from a roster of elite players with diverse strengths, it’s no wonder that BFG finished the postseason undefeated as the 2021 Club Champs.
