The Rock Hill Sports Center was the incredible venue for the MLTT’s first ever Cross Division Event featuring all 8 teams from Eastern and Western Divisions…and Majorponghead was THERE in person to witness all the action as MLTT returned to the site of its origin story, when a select team of then-undrafted players wowwed the American sports public (and a few cornhole professionals) during ESPN’s The Ocho event…

The very thought of this weekend’s historic Cross Division clash between the East and West Division teams has us in a near-constant state of excitement, rendering us wholly unable to focus on our day jobs. In the evenings, when Majorponghead staffers congregate by the office water cooler prior to our nightly editorial meetings, all the talk is about which matchup we most want to see. Enzo vs MJB?

Two days, four matches and multiple panic attacks later, we are now quite worried that we’re not going to survive this season. The amount of drama, especially in the two Sunday matches, was almost too much to bear...and if you were wondering when MLTT was going to get its signature moment, well look no further than Aditya Sareen and his fellow Seattle Spinners’ 8-second madcap sprint around the rodeo, celebrating their unlikely comeback win against mighty Kou Lei and the Portland Paddlers, which has now been viewed thousands of times from multiple angles on social media…
