Touch & Social

Strip out the competitive brackets and the Hotlanta 7s on Saturday, July 25 was still the biggest pickup game in the Southeast: fourteen men's social sides across four pools, a full women's social draw, and team names that deserve their own hall of fame. Clamdigger Selects took the men's title 21-14 over The Fast and The Fragile. Atlanta 2.0 Selects took the women's social title in a final whose score was never written down anywhere public, which somehow feels right for a social bracket.

The day ended at Hyde Brewing in Milton with everyone welcome and the organizers' shared photo album filling up all afternoon. This is the version of rugby you show a curious friend.
