First report from Bitburg

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.

Saturday Wrapup: Reporting Beyond The Ash Covered Fields of Doom (Pics)

This might be somewhat repetition, but here’s Raffes report for Caturday. Hotels Intertubes were disabled that day. With added bonus of pictures.

Raffe:

Morning brought us a thunderstorm. And were not talking about a light shower, but a full on car wash effect. So we setup a scouting party, me, to go to the site to find out schedules and all. So I setup to walk over and got wet through to my boxers, even with a raincoat. Should’ve brought my fishing trousers and Wellingtons with me. When I got to the site; the esteemed owners of Millennium were having a bit of breakfast, but desicion should be comming shortly. I asked them, if it was possible to get this on the webs and they confirmed this. Might this comment have started something never seen: Official statements on the site and even by email?

MS 2010 Malaga Friday Games Recap

Wireless at our hotel was down the whole day yesterday so had to wait with some on location updates and pictures.

Our first game started pretty late on Friday with some natural light available. Division 1. field has the setup where netting goes up with an inflatable cage with the purpose of quicker take-down and setup. The start for Division 1 field was supposed to be delayed only 1-2h but games ended up starting for us 5.5h delayed from schedule.

Malaga Fin.

So malaga comes to a end for Div 1. Yesterdays storm caused organization to cancel all games that day. And of course the weather cleared up in the evening, but the decision was done. Today as promised another decision was made and Div 1 and SPL games are moved to Germany. I wonder where I’ve heard this before? Now is the time for Millennium to think about the future of Malaga in spring time. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

M5, Div2 and some CPL games will be played today.

Next step for our guys is to think, how in hell they are going to get home. The flight curfew is set to continue through monday in Northern Europe. The Volcano continues to spew ash, so this might continue for a long time.  Maybe a flight to Germany from there bus to the ferry to Finland. And everything from their own pockets. Well we have to see if the team can compensate somehow. But now it’s probably a good idea to drink a few, and relax for a moment, before the Great Journey starts.
