(Max from DRIBBL 2 kicks off the first in a series of team reports)
Team Members
- Fernon, AKA “de poema“, who is an oldschool player with loads of experience, but no playtime in the past 5 years.
- Erik Hupkes, A strong and long player who is a consistent rebounder and a steady offender
- Samir, a new guy we found in the rollersoccer scene that is interested in broadening his roller-experience and only trained once before entering the tournament
- Dennis, A very strong defender that knows how to be the “pain in the ass” for the scoring canons
- Max, A very fast player that knows how to make fast counters and likes to disturb the offense of the opponent

Schedule
Posted by: tournament2010 on: February 24, 2010
The first draft of the schedule is finished! Check it out if you want to see who you’ll be playing. We still have to finish determining who will referee which games and when, so that everybody gets their fair share of matches to arbiter.
The tournament will have three rounds:
Round 1 – 9:30-13:00
First, we divide everybody into three pools: A,B and C, more or less of equal strength. Each pool has four teams in it. Every team in each pool plays every other team in the same pool, in round-robin fashion. So: A1 plays A2, A3 and A4, for instance.
Lunch – 13:00 – 14:00
Time to enjoy a lovely pasta salad, or whatever else you want to treat yourself to!
Round 2 – 14:00 – 15:00
Next round is an elimination round! Lose a game in this round and you won’t be in the top three for sure.
The two best teams of the pools from round 1 pool go into a new pool, consisting of six teams. The remaining six teams go into another pool. The best team of pool A plays against the number 2 of pool B. The best team of pool B plays against the number 2 of pool C. Finally the best team of pool C plays against the number 2 of pool A. The winners of these matches go into the top pool of round 3. The losers go into the second pool of round 3. So the six teams of the first pool of round 3 are split up into two pools, each containing three teams.
For the other pool of six things go completely analogously: this pool is also split up into two pools for round 3.
Round 3 – 15:30 – 18:30
In this round we go back to round-robin, this time for four pools. Every team in each pool plays the other two teams in this pool.
Whoever wins the top pool is the champion for this tournament. Whoever wins in the second pool is number 4 in the tournament, etc.
Clear? Feel free to ask any questions, if it’s not and I’ll do my best to clarify. Or you just let it all happen, we’ll tell you where and when to play. You don’t need to understand to become champion 
. The beautiful thing about this schedule: everybody plays six matches, win or lose!
Note, this schedule is pretty certain, but we might make some last minute changes.
Italian lunch!
Posted by: tournament2010 on: February 22, 2010
Danilo, one of the players of DRIBBL is the chef of an Italian restaurant, where he works with his mother, Maria. They’re closing it especially for the tournament, so he can play and have dinner with us afterwards. His mother would like to provide us with proper Italian lunches consisting of:
- a pasta salad with penne, tomatoes, mozzarella, basil and parmigiano
- a rucola salad with olives
- a drink (coca cola, fanta or some lovely and pure fruit juice like pear or apricot)
The price would be €10. Included are napkins and a fork. Please let us know how many on your team are interested, so they can prepare and bring enough for those that ordered. I would recommend it: who can refuse Italian cuisine?!
Please let us know before Thursday the 25th, preferably earlier!
Selecta: 3 drinks included
Posted by: tournament2010 on: February 17, 2010
The price of the restaurant has been increased to €25, but now three beverages are included per person. A much better deal, I would say! Updated details, including the menu, can be found here.
Brazil cancelled & other team news
Posted by: tournament2010 on: February 14, 2010
Brazil has cancelled, alas, for financial reasons. Better luck next time!
Berlin and Braunschweig will join forces, and form three teams from their combined players (17 in number).
Hamburg Bandits/Blades has announced that they will come with eight players. We’ve not received word yet if they will form one or two teams.
Köln/Bonn will arrive with six players (up from four).
Survivors now has 7 to 8 players on their team.
DRIBBL still has 14 to 15 players, probably forming three teams).
So in total,we have between 11 and 13 teams (depending on DRIBBL and Hamburg). We’ll draw up a schedule very soon.
