European 5 man Championships, 4 & 5 October 2003
- Thread starter woz
- Start date
Sorry guys I just keep thinking of other things to ask.
Would you prefer 10 7 min games(remember its only 5Man)or 12 5 min games?

It's good that you are asking...
That's a real tough one though.
Where as more games is best, if they start getting too short it becomes rather a moot point to have more.
I think 5 mins is getting a bit short really, although granted a lot will have already been finished in that time.
Might be worth attending a 5 man event and timing some games to see how long they last? If none go over 5 mins then you can go for the shorter time...
Nottingham this weekend is 5 man isn't it? I'll try and time a few if I can remember.

I reckon the best bet is to stick with 10x10min games. It can be done, if the venue has floodlights which i imagine it will then running a bit later wouldnt upset anyone.
Apart from that it looks like you guys are on the right track! Keep it up guys

I will try to answer questions as they come in.
Q) I think 10 games is better but I'd take 9 "proper" games ovre 12 "mini" games anyday.
A)I think the "mini" games come from the size of the fields more than anything, (the fields at the Indoor are about half the size of 1 5Man field we will use) The field sizes & exact field/s layout will be ready 3 months prior to the event so you guys can start planing positions and brakeouts etc. All you will have to do is print it of and take it to your next team training/meeting, but be warned the fields/barricades are like nothing you have ever seen!
Q)Woz, you'll have to give some real solid booking info to teams.
A)The website will be ready in 4 weeks it will incictures, maps, prizes,entrys, hotels b&b etc, entrys, subscription forms and all the other stuff you might need! (this is why i am trying to get it right before i confirm all on website)
Q)I think 5 mins is getting a bit short really, although granted a lot will have already been finished in that time.
A)This is exactly why i had 9 8min games because I thought 5 or 6 mins was to short, but now I come to think of it Camp Masters play 5 min games and I enjoyed the event very much. Maybe 12 5min games would be best (if you could time those games for me Manike it would be greeeat)
Q)I reckon the best bet is to stick with 10x10min games
A)I know this sounds the best on paper, but realisticly most games will probably only last 5 min max, so it would just be time wasteing. You have to remember its 5 man, games are often much shorter than 7man.
Q)if the venue has floodlights?
A)Yes the venue has floodlights, we can run till 10pm.

if you are talking:
9 games x 8 mins = 72
10 x 7 = 70
12 x 5 = 60
what about 11 6minute games? good balance between getting nice number and game length.
Plus if teams play 6 one day, 5 the next then that leave that bit of room for semis/finals.

Hmmmmm,
11x6MIN = 66
Ok this is the best for me so far, so it will be done, unless anyone has any objections. (dont forget to time those games Manike and also try and find out how big the fields are)
Ok Mac D the beer is as good as mine!!!
