Tourney: London International Invitational 2012 13th-15th Jan

Just out of interest, what was the reason for the 'half-time' switch halves in the final?

Seemed weird to me for a few reasons:
The games were first to 5 so there wasn't an actual half-time (ie i could understand it on an unlimited goal, timed game).
The court didn't favour either side, so no real reason to swap ends.
We hadn't played that format at any other round - so thought it might be a little confusing for spectators who had watched some of the previous rounds.

this isn't a dig, just curious…

The half-time was something that Snoops & I had talked about as a possibility whilst we were in Nigeria. So I decided to try it (with the consent of the organisers), as the LII wasn't a Championship Tourney, with real prizes at stake etc etc.

It was just an experiment, I don't know how much of a difference it made to the game. I think the unlimited goals thing is something that we need to revisit again, personally, but I wouldn't want to have just thrown it in there in a final of a tourney, whereas half-time seemed like a more minor change, so ok to try as a one-off.
