Ha, just saw this tweet from Lukas of L'equipe using Chukker's phone, 1.30am on Saturday, he was proposing a polo game in Steffen's huge apartment:

AMAZING tourney. I'll be grinning for the next week, i haven't laughed this much for ages.

+100

What a scream it was! So many laughs in London.

Huge thanks to our hosts Steffen and Susen, and to red chef and Fixie Inc. And those fuckers L'Equipe for driving us all over.

"Have we parked yet? I need to get out..."

Looks like she's holding off andi and got her eye on eddy

Andy swiped my mallet, but didn't take me down. I was trying to move backwards. Did Eddy score from that? Grrrrrrr!

Nice pictures and everything! To bad I couldn't make it in the end...

My DSLR died (sadface) in Karlsruhe but i did have a little film camera so i have a few shots from the weekend, some particularly crap but a few that came out ok.... and in a totally random order here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pixel_fiddler/sets/72157623275010233/

all with the XA?

all with the XA?

Yup... All on 5 year out of date Fuji Superia film....!

expired film is best!

cool, I must dig mine out again. I have 5 films to process from the summer.

My XA got soaked in paris though, should dry out fine though right?

Great weekend, even for them who just watched (me).

Highlights for me:
L'equipe rotating without leaving the goal unprotected. Each of them played each position. This was new to me. During the last tournaments each l'equipe player seemed to have one special position and played only this one. As long as they have two players in offence, they are dangerous. And the third makes sure that the goal is protected from long-shot-hugos or fast-counterattack-clowns, no matter who.
Toros did the same. Zombies, Malice, too, but maybe a little less effective.

MVP for me was Kevin. He scored so many goals for DTGP and did the game organisation.

When is Greifmasters 2?

Malice's tactic was more of a fluid/temp keeper when on the defensive, it would've worked if we'd concentrated more and not got distracted by the fun of it all..!

No-one wants to be the "goalie" on a team... rotating play makes sense for avoiding fatigue and getting a man to the ball as quickly as possible.
