On February 4th at the Graded School in Morumbi, the American Society will host its 14th Annual Abacaxi Bowl. Last year nine teams participated and approximately 200 players and spectators enjoyed the activities, which started at 10am and ended at 5pm. And last year saw a TV crew from Bandsports on the field filming the games and conducting interviews that aired on national TV two days later at 6pm.
The surprise of last year’s tournament was a first time entrant and third Brazilian team to join us, the Carcamanos. They made the finals but lost to the two-time champs Cougars. This year we expect another first time Brazilian team to make four Brazilian teams to match up with six American teams, combining for the largest Abacaxi Bowl in history with ten teams fighting for this increasingly sought-after prestigious title!
The origins of the Abacaxi Bowl date back to the 1990s when a bunch of American men organized themselves to play some pick-up “touch football” games in January as they got psyched for the weekends of NFL playoffs and Super Bowl Sunday. Over the years as Americans came and left Sao Paulo with their work, these pick-up games on Saturdays in January at either Graded or Chapel Schools became a tradition among the American and international community, including High School kids. By the late 1990s, the games were being regularly scheduled on the Saturday before Super Bowl Sunday and in 1999 the American Society formally adopted the tournament and has organized it ever since, coining it the Abacaxi Bowl. Gradually improvements in these games occurred every year, such as flag-belts were used by the players instead of “two-hand” touch, and game referees were established to keep that year´s established rules uniformly enforced. And since 2006 the Tournament has required the team´s players to wear a uniform jersey or a colored t-shirt for play, trophies have been awarded to the winning teammates, an MVP trophy award also, and the rules have remained more or less the same year after year.
