Tourney: MCR tourney... check and update x x - 19.04.09

Me and banana are going sat 1100 and coming back sun 2055 (we reserved our bikes)

ah, so you're the bastards that stole the reservations for our journey back. We'll be using London's famous laundrybagbikecarrier. Classy.

Bill, wait for us at the station when you get there?

For sure.

bad news iain... im on that train. ;)

fuck, no luck. there's still time to change.

i think the under 18s might need some proper Manchester representation....

Is there lighting at Platt Fields?
Tourney starting at noon, with 20min time limit on games, is going to be difficult to wrap up by sundown.

The tourney is at Chorlton park now, not platt fields. Hmmmm, didn't really think it would be going on that long to be honest. Hopefully we should be finished before dark as there are no lights @ Chorlton. I'll double check just how many teams are playing.

Note that they are playing the half-court rule NOT behind the goals after scoring.

If there are 16 teams, and you play straight knock-out, you are looking at 16 games in total. At 20 mins a game + 5 mins changearound time that is 6 1/2 hours.

If you are playing some other system, or there are more than 16 teams, you will not get through those games, in that time.

I don't think there are 16 teams, more like 10

Note that they are playing the half-court rule NOT behind the goals after scoring.

We are playing behind the goal after scoring rule, some of the rules had been copied and pasted incorrectly.

If it turns out there are more teams then we may have to start earlier. I'll talk to Nes about it tonight and give you guys an update asap!

chan you get the wrong end of the stick. bill is not talking about the ball he is talking about the players being in their half rather than behind the goal.

however, bill we do play the rule the players have to ride through the back of their goal before game resumes..that ok?

You need to make that explicit, as some of the teams coming won't be used to playing that rule.
