So what went on at the tournament? To be totally honest, the tournament was fairly
uneventful and shamefully small scale. There were a mere 112 games played and most of
them ended with a result, without risking boring all of you, a list of results, or even an
overview of results would be impossible. Needless to say what you really want to hear is a
list of damages ensued at the party. (By the way if anyone from the party venue wants
contact details for the Ro-sham-bo club don't give them any, a few clubs have already been
approached). We broke one table, pulled three brackets of the wall (cauing serious structural
defects in the pub wall) destroyed one awning (approximate size 15ft by 4 ft) and smashed
just over 100 pint glasses, had one ambulance called and excited the interest of
approximately 15 policemen. Needless to say, the venue is trying to contact us to make us
account for damages, and all frisbee players nation wide have been banned from the three
quarters sports cafe. If anyone has any bright ideas for a slightly larger and more
accomodating venue for next years party, I would be delighted to field any imaginative ideas
as it is unlikely we would be invited back to the same place, and besides the pub concerned
has changed it's policy on bookings for major sports fixtures. The pub was used to holding
rugby parties, which as you can imagine are significantly tamer. On top of all this, it was
good to see about 60 breasts (30 pairs) uncovered to the bare essentials (as is tradition for
the beginners tournament), so all in all, I would say the evening was enjoyable! On top of
this party, the second party held at the club Gaia was also deemed a success, and with
Mohawks and Mwnci See leading the way, another venue has been struck off our list of
possible hosts for next year, I've not heard as extensive an itinerary for damages, but I'm
sure there was one of a comparable scale.
I'm told there was a fare deal of sharking going on as well, but I have to admit, I saw none of
it. Having said that there were 20 different cases of considerable weight put forward for the
sharking prize and a lot of teams complained that there was only one space per team for a
nomination for the award of the 'sizzling dish'. However, the prize, after much consultation
was awarded to the most elligable pair (in Tim from FISH and Karren from RSB) if you know
either of these two, the full details really are worth a read, if anyone finds out all the gory
details, a posting over the web wouldn't fo amiss!
So down to the tournament, Congratulations to Phat Eds winning the Decanter and the
Plate, and congratulations also to Dross Magic and Purple haze for clearing up prizes in the
bottom 16, that is all bar one extremely sought after prize. A hard fought final derby between
out very own home grown Sneeekys and RSB3 led to an eventual and undeserving winner of
the balloon whisk of shame - RSB3. Well done! Seriously though, I must admit, despite
being an impartial scorer of course, it was excellent to see Cupid Stunts percentage play
defensive zone beaten in the final by a more risky man on side in Phat Eds. So a final pat
on the back for them. (PS nice speech DJ, I was flattered).
Well, that will probably do for now, so thanks all for coming, I hope you all enjoyed it and no
doubt most of you will be back next year for the 9th annual Edinburgh beginners tournament
2000. See you then
