amazing goal at 14:36 by hooks

wow that call me daddy team are insane

half time? wtf?

Seemed like Hooks were constantly having to tap out. A lot of the time because they were too busy trying to block people out and getting caught, rather than play the ball.

Both teams were looking for screening plays, weak. Cameron must be stroking his beard in anticipation.

cam has a beard?

Merkin.

Mark is right, I think we were too tired from all the games we've done before to make our way to the final and we couldn't play our real game, all we did was blocking instead of playing the ball. Big mistake ! Won't happen again :)

Oh, I missed this thread and posted it on the strategy thread. Super defensive game. Neither team is pressing the ball on turn-over, simply retreating to their own d. I wouldn't want to give William a clear run on my d. He's an absolute monster, and a lefty, so letting him just run in from left to right is an open invitation for him to have a shot.

Anyone got any recent vids of the Krauts or the Spanish?

german champs are this weekend Bill, so no video yet
the spanish were 3 week agos, and still not videos on the net

the italians in the other hand

I didn't know whether to put this in videos or in news.

Did a small demo game for Edinburgh council as a way of securing UKBPC funding. No barriers so we were playing tame, but still good fun. This is in one of Edinburgh's busiest streets in the city centre.

will was on fire, was he top scorer?

I heard Polo was on fire too.

3:15 Will is the new Sich!

eurgh can't watch Vimeo's! :(

^ check 3.15 for an endo goal attempt.

^^ william's shot is crazy. check the power he gets!

check 1.25 in the final match video at the top of the page. that shot looks fucking powerful.

1.56 - DTGP guy (Hugo?) reaches round someone else, forcing a footdown.

Is that a foul?

its not a foul to be better at staying on your bike within reason.

To me it's unfair to use your arm and mallet to reach across their bars and block someone's movement. Although it looks like bike-to-bike which caused the footdown. I don't think it shows superior skill to reach over someones bar like that and come out stronger.

thats why i said within reason. because i dont think it is his arm that makes the guy come off. It the guys inability to take the challenge that makes him footdown. He reaches over and around his bars. (i think i havent watched it twice)

I guess it depends what ruleset is being played, but I'd say he invades the other players cockpit space, I'd say his mallet goes under the horizontal line coming back from the bars, meaning the player wouldn't be able to grab the bars without the mallet getting in the way. Does he touch him? It would be a pretty weak foul though.
