Who did max play with in the german champs? and Rupert?

I think Max played with Shotgun Sisters (Joanna and Anna Synthese)
Not sure about Rupert.

Rupert played with M3, a team from Munich. It was a great tourney with two brilliant, very big courts and camping next to it.. I guess Hbomb will do a proper recap of the weekend, huh?

Ha.

Yeah, pretty much what Philipp said, great tournament.

2 Mitch size roller hockey courts, beautiful weather, everyone camping next to the court, drinks and BBQ provided, PA system, Flo commentating.

Everything was planned to the smallest detail, and it worked perfectly.

Good courts, good weather, good beer, good people, good weather, good polo, not too far away, Magic bus, beach volleyball, great weather, a fight, toughshit, about 30 Max Power Cycles polo bikes, a slinky bridge, trying to pop-down a pop-up tent, Eddy in clogs, Buppel-style, etc.

yeah, great tournament. Germans do it right..

yeah, great tournament. Germans do it reich..

Fighting at tourneys seems to be bang on trend at the moment.

Polo turning into ice hockey, what's that aboot?

In short, player A (in grey) hits player B (in black) on the arm with his mallet. Player B gets off his bike and starts punching him. Both received game misconduct penalties, and the rest of the game was played 2 vs 2.

but... they've still got their gloves on!

WTF

Ha!

You can swear in German TV (along with many other things banned here, like being naked)

Swearing and nudity must be central to German culture.
