It has taken a while but I think I have a plan for The London team and how it might fit in with the regionals. There will be a Friendly Fires Tournament on the 3rd of November, in the fields south of Regent's Park (which is a Weds, I know) open to students from London AND the SE area if you care to make it to town. The tournament fee is a pittance at 15 pounds per team, which includes one game disc. Apart from the sheer madness and fun that is the Friendly Fires Experience (read: half arsed, seat of the pants organization and lots of embarrassed smiles) we will be selecting players for "D.O.A." which is the so-called London Super Team - an unfortunate phrase that I coined, but there you are. The WE doing the choosing is, thus far, me (Adam Keen), Jolyon Thompson, Chris Berry and Alex @Junior (if you want the responsibility). I would also invite Tim Blair to come and add some diversity to the proceedings. The invitation extends to Spud if he would only forgive me for standing him up and call me sometime ... Anyway, we have three teams playing on Nov. 3 so far: PDQ, Disk Doctors, and Under Cover Lovers, with Kings College as highly probable. We are expecting at least 6 teams and hopefully 8 teams to respond ASAP with definites and cheques. In case of rain or other cognate disasters, we will try and reschedule it for the following week or provide refunds as appropriate. All responses should be directed to : london_ultimate@breathemail.net, or london_ultimate@hotmail.com, preferably the former. As it is a one day tournament, and we are trying to fit in as many games as possible with as many different teams, the games will be short (about an hour) and will start early and on time (naive, I know, but we are determined!!) Final tournament details will be posted soon, hopefully by the last few days of October. Help from team captains, or anyone for that matter, is greatly appreciated and needed NOW. You might all find it quite reassuring that I am NOT putting the tournament together personally, instead someone with a great deal of experience (40-team regional tourneys in the US etc.) will be putting the mechanical bits together, thanks Ward! Nevertheless, EVERYONE AND ANYONE who can make it to Regent's Park on a Weds from 9am up until 6pm is welcome, and anyone who intends to play for the London Super Team / SE Regionals should also make the trip. Otherwise, how will we know who you are? Cheers and Beers, Adam Keen Under Cover Lovers First Touch D.O.A. P.S. I am out of the country from Weds 20th until Tues following, so don't expect a reply from me in the interim.
