Scotland OUT. :(

Can we take their place? And a few of their players?

I don't see why not ? Shame Scotland can't make it but it is a long way to come.

We have 4 people so will need at least 2 more. James Brown was interested but I know he doesn't hang around on here often, so if someone could get in contact with him that'd be great. Also if any of the Scots are set on coming/playing then you are more than welcome in our team.

Can you get a can of pure oxygen? If not, nitrous would be fun.

Nitrous would be ace.

Yes to the nitrous!

V from London was up for subbing

I might be persuaded to get some evostick and some freezer bags and do it properly

Yes yes yes to nitrous half time boosts!

Also if you want to sub you are in!

!

is there any sort of format been agreed on for this yet? and what time will play end sunday as a few guys are asking me about sorting travel back.

Sorry if I missed this in the thread but is it okay if we come up Friday night and stay over?

if you dont mind staying in the warehouse im sure its fine. and i think its round robin.

Are the mattresses still available to sleep on?

Yep mattresses are still there. The office has been annexed by the kick boxers unfortunately so not available to sleep in.

Or shit in?

The format is round robin saturday and sunday, 20 minute games. There will be a final four, 30 min games. Each team should have received a provisional schedule via email. Sorry I dont have the exact times at the moment.

What time do we need to be there? What trains are people getting? Group saver? It's all a bit quiet? This is this weekend, right?

Just wondering, because Josh mentioned 20 minute games as well. With 8 teams, round robin is 28 games.

Haven't you got 2 courts on Saturday (or was that for NS?). If you do you can easily do all the RR games in one day even with 30 minute games, and do a full single (or even double) elim the next day on one court.

Personally I think 20 minutes is a bit short for BM games.

But it's your tournament, do what ever works for you, I'm just curious.

I emailed all the teams the schedule and the details for the event a while ago now, I'm guessing that it either didn't arrive or it's been missed in your inbox? I'll re-send it now, if the recipient could send it around their players that would be appreciated.
