Sportman-like conduct

[Echowitch]

The weekend of Campaign was a great fun experience, and definitely the best Campaign I've been to so far. But one incident reminded me of something that commonly is forgotten about in our sport. Good sporting conduct. Or gentlemanly conduct if you prefer to call it.

Im referring to Sandbaggers and their willingness to give up a potential podium place to play a one on one against another team that would have missed out on a top 4 slot because their team name was alphabetically. Sandbaggers asked to play a 1 on 1 against the team to determine who would go through. Something many, if not most, other teams would not have done.

In addition to this one of our guys (JJ) marker was found to be not set to Millennium settings on Sunday afternoon, (its an Etek3 and he changed the battery overnight which reset all the settings.) GWC Allstars had just finished, and Lemon very kindly gave JJ her marker to use for the rest of the games of the day.

Im wondering if anyone else experienced such sporting conduct ??

Sandbaggers

The Sandbaggers incident was between them and the Rimba Warriors from Malaysia. Ledz very kindly and graciously insisted that a 1 on 1 be played between Jack Woods and a Rimba player to give the team a chance to the team that had traveled such a long way.

Jack Woods lost btw

Much love to Ledz and the Sandbaggers for being such sportsmen

Cheers for that, I spoke to Ledz about it but didn't see it happen. Struck me as very gentlemanly of them

There was two dead man walks this weekend one against Disruption on the spl field and one against Manchester Firm on the dark sports field.

Teams who do dead mans walks should be pulled from the tournement straight away!

They were both French as well.

but if we shot the guys who look like they have been shot to make sure we get done for over shooting its not nice.

Its a shame as well the other 3 French teams we played were really good played the game and played well the tontons and taz who we beat in the prelims came 2nd and 4th so to be knocked out by a french team who does a dead mans is pretty gutting.

The proliferation of Dead mens walking might go a way to explaining why you often get those few balls of "extra love" on the way to the deadbox.
