What a great weekend! The organisation of the whole event was awesome. Being picked up at the airport (with a crate of beer!). Ferried around all weekend. Games running like clockwork. The awsomest high tech scoreboard. Sweet goals (slightly longer than bike length - the future), nets worked a treat. Shape and boards used for court was great (UK supplier sourced). Only downside was the very slippy tiled surface, but it was a great leveller. Favoured the passing game I guess (although Zombie handled their speedy play well and Mike/Yorgo hardly ever went slamming through the barriers as I expected!). The whole tournament was played in a very good spirit and there were very few contentious issues (partly due to the goal design). The standard of play was superb and a joy to watch. The UK matches were pretty much all the best ones entertainment-wise and we certainly had the most vocal support!
On top of all that the hosts/organisers were so friendly/helpful/accommodating we couldn't ask for more - a huge thank you to everyone involved - well done Karlseruhe - you rule!!!!
