April 8, 2008 - San Francisco

Opening Day for the spring 2008 Dodgeball season got underway with a dramatic matchup between crosstown rivals, Revision3 and Digg. The seasoned veterans from Digg squared off with the scrappy upstart rookies of Revision3 in a dramatic contest of throwing and dodging balls. Team Revision3 featured stars from across the network and were clad in black and green with a vague sense of the rules.

Squaring off in a best of 9 contest, Digg broke away with an early lead up 2-0 thanks to the dominance of “Double Baller” Kurt W., but that just appeared to be the learning curve that Revision3 needed who quickly tied it back up at 2-2. The dramatic back and forth continued and when the dust settled, Digg was up 4-2 and the game was on the line for the team of video upstarts from Revision3. Slowly but surely Revision3 fought back bringing the game to a tie score, 4-4.

With the final match underway, the game on the line, even Edwin the ref commented on the drama of this match. Digg seemed to have the advantage, but very quickly the tide turned thanks to the on the court wizardry of Brad Murphy and Glenn McElhose delivered victory for the Revision3 team.

Revision3 Coach David Prager stated in a press conference after the game, “Digg came to play dirty, but little did they realize that we can play dirtier.” In a post game interview, Digg’s Kevin Rose said, “I founded both companies…I’m going to join the Revision3 team now…”.
