Chan probably ordered 2. He's selfish like that

Ps I'm in Karlsruhe waiting for you schmucks, rumours of a courtside BBQ tomorrow so be sure to take advantage of those "unrestricted" portions of the autobahn. Also I'm going to need to change my alarm tone because the church bells here sound exactly like the iPhone "Bells" tone

@uolmo: twitter for the weekend?

I arrive in Geneva at 9:30pm tomorrow, woody arrives about 7:30pm, see you all there :D

Have a great tourney boys and girls, bring back some silverware, y'hear? xx

Do we have an address for the Bunker?

The third MCR shaft is for Chan aswell, and i get in at 6pm i think

I'm reading that a ball scoop and ball joint are separate things. A ball scoop can be used as a pass, but technically could you pass to yourself and shoot with the ball still in the air? Bit of a dick move, but I wanted clarification.

Basically an egg and spoon, to in the air, to clean shot with the mallet?

4 - Scoring a goal and ball movement
4.1 - A goal must originate as a "shot," defined as striking the ball with the end of the players mallet. Before passing the line, the ball can deflect on any element on the court, except on the ‘shuffle’ side of any attacking team member’s mallet.
4.2 - Wrist shots or scoop shots are not considered a "shot", therefore will not count as a goal. This technique may be used to pass the ball.
4.3 - A "shuffle," defined as a ball that is struck with the broad side of the mallet, will never count as a goal unless the ball is shuffled by a player into their own net.
4.4 - Ball-joint: Not to be confused with a scoop pass, toss or other ball handling. The ball-joint is defined as pinning the ball between an open end, or an open side in some cases, of the mallet head and the playing surface and then dragging it. Ball-jointing will be allowed anywhere on court, however, before a shot at goal, the ball must be passed to another player.
4.5 - If the ball becomes lodged on a player, bicycle or in the spokes of a wheel in such a way that it cannot be played safely, game play will be stopped. The ball will be dislodged and placed on the ground at the point of incident. The player directly involved in the ball being lodged will get possession and play will resume.
4.6 - The ball cannot be played with the feet off the pedals. Intentionally touching the ball will be counted as a foot-down or "dab" (see below) and that player will be required to tap-out. If a player prevents a goal in this manner it will be penalized. The referee will decide what penalty is appropriate at that time.

i get a free MKE pole? think it must be for someone else

@jono,
I think that you could make a lil' scoop move then shoot.

really? :(

I dont understand this rulezzzzzz

for example, you can lob someone with a scoop and then shoot...

@uolmo - cheers.

that was the original question
can you do and egg and a spoon thingy?

Egg and spoon is sort of the same as a scoop.

It's whether the ball has to leave your mallet (flick it into the air so you can shoot yourself), or go to a teammate (a pass).

The rules don't cover this, ref's discretion?

Or no egg and spooning at all? (In my experience egg and spooning is pretty dangerous, but mostly for the player doing the spooning.)

what's the egg and spoon?
If you mean carry the ball, tha'ts a bj-like move for me.

If my memory doesn't fail me, Greg and Marc tried it a few times and the ball almost hit the goal keeper in the head.
I think this move can be potentially dangerous.

Asshole move - keep the ball on the ground.

I think this move can be potentially dangerous.

Agreed, as is the lob to shot move, but it can be awesome.

"Don't be a dick" rule kind of covers it then.

Hey Treo, are you going to Geneva? Have Copenhagen entered a team? Be good to see you again

sorry but im terrible at traveling on my own, when i arrive at the airport which train do i get and to where?

"Don't be a dick" rule kind of covers it then.

i've been practising a flick-up to half-volley shot in brum - scored once, shot it out of the court several times, missed plenty. you can get awesome power with the shot, but such a wild swing is necessary i only do it when i'm well away from other players.

i would never do it in a tournament as it's so hard to score with that method. also, i fear the wrath of spectators/other players.
