Thanks all for the home-town support! Brian, wished you were there! What can I say? We had a good group of teams to play. We played really well on Saturday and held our own on Sunday. Yorgo was hot, making spot on passes and always on the ball and of course his impressive breaks. Hassan made some spectacular goals and some amazing saves, our player of the tourney.
Malice, I know you had fun all the way to the quarters and it showed! Well done BAD, there was some really good polo coming from you guys. Cosmic, lay off the hairspray next time ;) Apples, Coños and Beards all played really well, representing London properly. Roxy played really well with pirate Oli (Berlin) and Holger (Karlsruhe), she made some great saves and was usually in the right position on the court running block/interference and making one goal (at least) off a rebounded shot from Oli.
Greifmasters was an AMAZING Tourney!!! Thank you Karlsruhe! Awesome hospitality, awesome organization, awesome everything!
The floor was a bit slippy, especially on the first day, but the guys tried their best to sort it out providing wet and dry rags to wipe your tires with, cleaning it every morning and sweeping it between every quarter/semi and final games. Clean and grippy tires and taped mallet heads were necessary. Some people were running tires at low pressures to help. (I had a fyxation on the front and a brand new marathon plus on the rear at normal pressure and only had one real wash-out)
The barriers ruled, the size was excellent (bit small but that's my preference) and the netted goals were phenomenal.
I don't think I need to say anything about the mega-screen, but it was amazing.
