Team History:
Bursting forth from the loins of the 2000 WTO crisis, seven former Verge players, one southern belle, two Philly vets, three Carleton grads, two Aussies, and five Seattle standouts came together to show the northwest region just how long a pre-game warm up can last. Based on a tradition of mob-like instincts and cat-like reflexes, seattle riot has competed for the last four years under the tutelage of the infamous hill people and become attuned to their mysterious doctrine, communicating only by smoke signal. We have had many successes (a world championship) and faced many challenges (four teams have since surpassed us for longest warm-up). Yet we know one thing we can always count on—our ability, no matter the weather conditions, to procure a vanilla soy latte on the way to most any field site.
