That was good fun. Was sorry to have missed out on playing, but I was glad to be of some help with doing the goal ref, setting up etc.
That was my first time seeing any teams from Europe or NA play in the flesh. It was a good experience to watch a higher level of play than the current crop of UK teams, but I dont think there was anything in there that the likes of Cosmic, Bad, Apples, or even Cogs, Fiasco, Elks or Netto couldnt reproduce with time.
I think my favourite game was Cogs against Machine Politics early on in the winners bracket - Cogs really gave them a run for their money, IIRC the final score was 3-2, the Chicago boys were rattled, Jon Emmet and Cam came very close to causing an upset.
My most impressive team were Polosynthese, almost completely unbelievable moving and passing between the two outfield players, its as if they are telepathically linked, sensing what their next three or four moves between each other are going to be. What is also really impressive is that they're much less physically imposing than the American teams, but well able to compete. I'd expect them to improve as they get older, could easily see them winning any tournament as they develop.
Well done to Joni, Margs and Dean from Rusty Rims, I always like to see beginner teams do well, it was great to see them progress into the second round. Tits and Turd also did brill considering they hadnt played together before, afaik.
There was a great friendly atmosphere at it, strangers were well open to chat to you, something I find is a bit lacking in London.
Respect to Jono & Andy for organising it, and everyone else who pitched in too. -
London open is awesone, should end at the ship every year, dice>polo.

An amazing weekend. London for the 2012 worlds!
Huge thanks to Jono, you stayed calm throughout, you made good decisions under pressure. Well done mate.
Also massive thanks to all the people who did the jobs no-one had been assigned, TomLemon, for running back and forth, DublinKevin, for whipping, and keeping the scores updated all day on Sunday. We owe you beer. Ryan for fixing the wonky goal on Saturday night, probably shitfaced. Good job.
The big downer for me was the software not doing what I expected, and allowing re-matches between teams in the Swiss Rounds. Apparently that is normal, but I would have liked to have been able to avoid that situation. Next time, it'll be better!

^ But it still went really well and imo you did a fantastic job.
+1 to Jono appearing calm and collect and handled / organised everything so well.Special mention: Go Rusties!!! :D
Well done to Joni, Margs and Dean from Rusty Rims, I always like to see beginner teams do well, it was great to see them progress into the second round.
Cheers guys :D
It was nice to be able to take part in a tournament with so much talent and experience, and still be able to have some lower level games. Really enjoyed it and learned a lot.
Freewheel times x3.Top weekend.
