Evening all! There's a beer festival after this tournament, see SU website, some of us are going. Less importantly:
I've collected all the names of people who signed up for the tournament or told me they were coming and put you in teams. See the bottom of this e-mail.
The tournament will be very similar to Warwick Rage, but with our first go at tournament teams and handicaps to even out the games. The handicaps are bit rough, don't be patronised, prove my handicapping system is a mockery by whooping the ass of the other teams.
The first game starts at 19:20, whether the team is ready or not, so get there early, sort out your gear and get on the pitch as soon as the swimmers are out at 19:15. Those who aren't playing first will finish off sorting out the goals. The playlist will go up at 19:10 in the lifeguard office window.
Games are two halves of 5 minutes, no half time. 3 minutes is given for changeover. Only one team changes at a time, so I'm afraid if you get kit that you don't like, you'll be stuck with it for two games. This is unfortunate, but if you want to guarantee good kit, buy your own! If not, live with it.
Once again, if you are not in the team you want to be in, don't be disappointed, keep trying and practising your skills, it's been very hard choosing who goes in the A's and B's this time, and maybe the choices aren't quite right, so keep it up (that's what she said)! I'll try to mix up the teams more when we don't have a tournament coming up, so you'll be able to prove yourself as part of whichever team then!
An example of a handicapped game: Result: Warwick Ladies 3 vs 1 Warwick C Handicaps: +7 vs +9 Equivalent handicap: 0 vs +2 Actual result: Warwick Ladies 3 vs 3 Warwick C, a draw.
Hope that is informative enough, it's certainly long enough, wahey!
