Awesome job H as usual, and thanks to bristol guys too. Glad to see some lovely faces again.
All our games were thight and fun to play. Ok the one against jono's wasn't tight at all but fun anyway.
I wasn't suprised about some teams, who on the paper looked as good as they were on court, but i was surprised how every team was really hard to play on and how tight was so many games. It was awesome.
Ruppert's team way to lay down bench to get in was so intense!
Im also really excited about how best players have completly different style of play. Think about your 5 or 6 best players you saw played this week and how they look differents on their bikes. Im so surprised that even with a mallet standardization this past year, the way of play the ball can be so different. Also bike handling and riding is still really different from player to player. Take Paulo, Alex, Dodi and Jono for example, it looks like there is a worlds between each of them and every time a way to play the game at the highest level.
Final extended time was so good, thanks Marc to let will score on you for the sake of the show!
Some rules was sketchy and small issues happened, but nothing vital. Some really good refin' also (Warin was good too, Mayeut made great job in final, etc).
for me 6 players is a good number. When you go to 7 or 8 and that there is one or two people you don't know how to use on your bench, that's hard for a captain and for players who travel from far to come.
