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. NOT ONE PENALTY WAS CALLED ALL DAY! WITH 8 TEAMS ATTENDING ONE DIVISION WAS SET UP. AFTER PRELIMNARY PLAY, TWO TEAMS (SPECIAL K AND WHEATY O'S) ) HAD 500 POINTS AND WERE JOINED BY KULTERGEIST IN THE FINALS.

WITH THREE TEAMS IN THE FINALS, EACH TEAM PLAYED EACH OTHER ONCE. WHEATY O'S TOOK BOTH OF THEIR GAMES AND TOOK FIRST PLACE HONORS.

THE PLAY OF THE DAY HONORS ALSO WENT TO A WHEATY O'S PLAYER (A FILL IN FROM RUNNING RIOT) NAMED CHRIS. FACING A 3 ON 1, HE TOOK THE OFFENSIVE AND BUNKERED HIS NEAREST OPPONENT. DUE TO A LACK OF COMMUNICATION, A PLAYER MOVED FROM HIS POSITION TO THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD AND WAS TAKEN OUT ON THE WAY. DOWN TO ONE ON ONE AND CHRIS TOOK OUT THE FINAL PLAYER TO TAKE THE GAME. SMOOTH MOVES!

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

ANY TEAM WISHING TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE TOURNAMENT STYLE PRATICES SHOULD CALL (203)596-7502 TO SIGN UP. THE NEXT PRACTICE WILL BE HELD ON SUNDAY DECEMBER 3RD. TEAMS SHOULD GET TO THE FIELD BY 9:00am.
