There will be some loaner mallets I think but Max will be on scene

Yeah, will bring the brake for you.

You can use the loaner mallets or I have a rik pole that you can have for a tenner and you can build it up with the remnants of your mallet? Will bring hacksaw along for you too.

ill bring my old one, its shizzer but will hit a ball if need be!

I'll bring some loaner mallets, got 3 bikes to bring too. Ben do you need the trophy or you made another?

Ben, any chance you can tell us more about the format? Are we doing swiss rounds and elim?

I see there's 4 teams + 5 people so far. anyone else expected to show up? does that mean longer games? :D

Also maybe doing a post about bike requirements, helmets etc for people that didn't attend a tourney yet.

No problems with Overground tomorrow:

                              (at the discretion  of  the referee).   

check 'em tonight to save time tomorrow!

yeah, what's the format? (we want to calculate ultimate sandbagging- i am slowly realising that losing the first games sometimes work to your advantage.)... Also realising that beer helps,Jägermeister helps even more but redbull is really bad. but that's another story...

anyway, "Rrrraaaa!!!" + Hulk like muscle flex.

see you tomorrow >:-/
