Millennium Series London layout published

Posted by  on 30 May 2010, 12:47 pm

The Millennium Series has published the field layout for the 2010 Millennium London in Basildon. The field can be described unconventional at minimum, it will be interesting to see how the field plays. The “M” has been moved to 1/3 position length-wise, and there is no actual “dorito side”, as the doritos have been laid center-field. Both tapes also have bits of the snake. It seems that the field designers have been a bit sloppy as they seem to be missing a MD from the right side of the field, just below the centerline.. An updated layout is to be expected. See the layout below:

On the way to Ikaalinen

Posted by  on 28 May 2010, 7:55 pm

So, the first weekend of the Finnish National League is here, and we are litterally on the way.. In Helsinki the weather was nice when we set off, we’ll have to wait 60km to see what it’s like in Ikaalinen. So far, It’s a bit overcast but hopes for tomorrow are quite nice.. Hopefully it’ll be as nice as it was outside the terrace of Weeruska in Helsinki.

Bitburg report Sponsored by Bitte ein Bit

Posted by  on 22 May 2010, 10:41 pm

So that tournament went quickly for us.
On thursday we played 3 games. First against Empire Venice. The game went through in tides with both teams leading. Unfortunately our end game was not good enough. That actually set the tone for the weekend.  Although we lost the game we went through to quarterfinals with best possible ED points (like goal-diference in hockey) with one win. Lleida was against us in the second game. They stayed in their break bunkers and shot their lines full. We got no control of the game and lost to better of us at 4-1.  That was the net sum of our virtual visit to sunny beaches of Malaga.

First report from Bitburg

Posted by  on 21 May 2010, 12:24 pm

I just got a report from Bitburg so here goes…

The third game of Malaga was played this morning against Empire Venice. As expected it was a tight one. Cyclone managed to score the first points taking the game to 2-0 but after regrouping the Empire boys tied the game to 2-2 plus took the next point to 2-3. Cyclone tied the game again to 3-3. Empire managed to get a great break to the last point and took the win 3-4.

It seems that our guys are going to have game packed weekend since although they lost their game they’re still going to go through to the “Sunday club”. The Malaga tournament had so few teams that actually got there that an extra 6 teams go through to the last 16. Cyclone is one of them and their next game is against FiveStar Lleida. After that they’ll start the Bitburg tournament and play against FiveStar Lleida again but this time on a different field.

Tomorrows opponents are going to be the Danish Copenhagen Synergy and Dogs D Amour Thessaloniki from Greece.

Field Buildup in Bitburg

Posted by  on 19 May 2010, 2:28 pm

Currently I’m in Bitburg trying to find a intertube that I could steal for a minute (Internet cafes were a bit uncoperative).

Here are a few pics from the site. Sorry for the lousy focus, had a bit camera difficulties (am useless with it). The turf looks good and even, but I didn’t use a level… The trade show looks small, with the big Dye tent not there. Continue reading ‘Field Buildup in Bitburg’ »

Only two days to go

Posted by  on 19 May 2010, 10:11 am

Millennium 2010 Bitburg is at hand and the anticipation is crushing…

First of all: After the Malaga event got canceled on Saturday, the last games on our group got moved to Bitburg and everything remained open.  Now the situation is, that Empire Venice has a firm grip on the preliminary win with their  two points. Both we and the Sugar Daddy’s have acquired one point before the last game, so if we both take wins, there will be three teams at two points and it’ll all be decided by the point differences. To go even further, if we should take the win with a landslide, we have a chance to win the preliminaries all together. Talk about pressure…

DYE signs NE Hurricanes!

Posted by  on 18 May 2010, 10:08 pm

Wow, as far as sponsorship goes, this one is big news! DYE has signed New England Hurricanes for a multtiple year-contract, how do you like them apples? Quite an aggressive move in the sponsorship front.. Nice to see what the Hurricanes’ custom NT will look like. Strategically the signing is a well thought-out move, as the Hurricanes have been catching a lot of attention with their extremely well produced “Birth of a Storm” documentary.

Good luck to the endeavour!

Uppsala Recap

Posted by  on 16 May 2010, 10:32 am

Ok, a busy week so it took a bit longer to get this done, sorry. Playing in Sweden always feels like a second home with so many friendly faces from over the years, and this time was no different. Overall, a super event. We started our trip straight from work on Friday driving to Turku to catch the late ferry to Sweden. A bit of poor sleep, and we could enjoy a buffet-style breakfast on the boat before it arrived to Stockholm at 6.30 in the morning. The only problem with that was that the captains’ meeting in Uppsala was scheduled at 7 am.. Luckily, with the trusty GPS and the grreat Swedish road system, we arrived on the venue at 7.45 am, a hefty 15 minutes before the scheduled start of the games. Nice.
