THE PRACTICE WAS SET UP AS A ROUND ROBIN TOURNAMENT STYLE WITH 3 MINUTE GAMES. EACH TEAM PLAYED EACH OTHER ONCE WITH THE TOP TEAM AS THE WINNER. POINTS AWARED WERE 100 POINTS FOR A MAX ONLY (A MAX BEING SHOOTING ALL OPPOSING PLAYERS WITH TIME REMAINING),

THESE PRACTICES WERE SET UP SO THAT LOCAL TEAMS COULD COMPETE IN A FUN ENVIRONMENT WITH NO ATTITUDES WHILE FINE TUNING THEIR GAME. IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING BECAUSE ALL THE TEAMS HAVE SHOWN IMPROVEMENT OVER THE MONTHS.

ONCE AGAIN, THE TOURNAMENT WENT SMOOTHLY AND THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS (OK MAYBE A SMALL SCHEDULING PROBLEM WITH RESULTED IN 2 TEAMS PLAYING AGINST EACH OTHER THAT WERE NO SUPPOSED TO PLAY). ONCE AGIAN, ONLY ON PENALTY WAS CALLED ALL DAY (A ONE FOR ONE FOR PLAYING ON). DUE TO THE VOLUME OF TEAMS ATTENDING, WE NEEDED TO SPLIT THE TEAMS INTO TWO DIVISIONS. AFTER PRELIMNARY PLAY, TWO TEAMS IN EACH DIVISION HAD TO PLAY A ONE GAME TIE BREAKER TO SEE WHO WOUL;D ADVANCE TO THE FINALS. IN DIVISION 2 REKIN FK BEAT HELLSPAWN AND IN DIVISION 1 KULTERGEIST BEAT CT BANDITS 2.`

WITH 6 TEAMS IN THE FINALS, EACH TEAM PLAYED 5 GAMES. WHEN ALL WAS SDAID AND DONE, ONLY ONE TEAM, RUNNING RIOT 1 SPEARATED THEMSLEVES FROM THE PACK RESULTING IN A FIRST PLACE WIN. AMAZINGLY ENOUGH. AS A RESULT OF TIE BRAKING RULES, SPECIAL K TOOK SECOND (THEY WERE THE ONLY TEAM TO BEAT 2 TEAMS IN THE TIE). THIRD PLACE WAS SHARED BY KULTERGEIST, REKIN FX AND RUNNING RIOT 2. TAKING THE LAST SPOT WAS CT BANDITS 1 WHO PLAYER EXTREMELY WELL ALL DAY BY THE WAY...CONGRATS!)

THANKS TO ALL THE TEAMS THAT ATTENDED AND HOPE TO SEE YOU NEXT TIME.
