Sadly we're going to be down a couple of Scots, but we're left with a perfect 24 players/8 teams. After much deliberation, a couple of beers and generally guessing at how long people have been playing, I can present to you... in no particular order...
THE SEEDING!
A: Ben, Dan W, Fin, Emyr, Rob, Chan, Scott, *mystery guest*
B: Dan LJ, Monty, Neil, Lizzy, Andy, Joe, Sylwia, John
C: Matt, Viktoria, Doogie, All, Arthur, Oli, Tum, Rita
Thanks again Andy for putting this together! Was so much fun despite the rain. Good to see some the B players really coming into their own. My MVP would have been tied between Rob/joe. Joes all round game is coming on so much and rob, I've never seen anyone score so many goals in one tourney!
So many goals, my scoring arm aches pretty bad. Thanks to my goalie and blocker for making it all possible and Alan for subbing in. Cheers Andy for sorting it, Sywia for helping and Emyr for maths and everyone else for watching me score sweet goals.
Thanks to everyone that came down on Saturday and for sticking around despite the weather. Hope you enjoyed the ABC format as much as I did, it was good to watch teams coming together through the tournament and to see the A players really encouraging and pushing the B and Cs. Will definitely be doing it again next year (but maybe not in November...).
Big thanks to Emyr and Sylwia for their help running things on the day, little Oli for time keeping/whistle blowing, all the refs and goal refs throughout the day, especially Dave for coming down and helping out despite being unable to play (and thanks for the loaner bike!). Thanks to Al for going to the shop and getting beer. Thanks to everyone who helped clear up at the end of the day and finally thanks to Fin and Matt for being great team mates and well done Rob for scoring all the goals.
Great tourny! was really fun :) Our team took a few games to warm up (seeding 7th initially), but we managed to get really far! I played in my first final (or 3) :D
We have a player borrowing Dave Troll's bike - does anyone have a set of flat pedals we can pop on it for the day?
I have some.
Rob is bringing some but if you could bring yours too (in case Rob forgets...) that'd be great.
What time does this thing start?
10am.
I am likely to forget but will dig some up in a bit.
hope i get a good A and B player!!
Will you bring those pads? They sent out (or I ordered) the wrong ones, I can swap for old deore pads or pay you another day.

Neil's been playing longer than me?? Anyway, I got pads for you rob!! Is it these? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobile//s?q=clarks+shimano+xtr+m965-m...
Birmingham Neil, not Manchester Neil.
Ok sorry forgot Manchester Neil wasn't playing!
