(No, that's a certain other tourney..)
Russ had a set of rules decided before it started, it wasn't made up on the day,
nor was anything changed on the day, by my understanding.
Had a pretty good day, feel fairly dead today, seemed to have pulled every muscle including in my hands & feet!?
The comment markhamgreg made yesterday while we were there was great, that he would have stopped playing if he'd not found this made me really happy, that's what it's all about.
I've noted a couple of things which could be made better for next time, & I'll pass on comments that I got to Russ. Including that it would be good to see a rulebook specific to this tourney, which I'm sure will happen sometime because this was just the first of hopefully many.
Sorry to close on a sour note but...
Apparently at least one if not more teams yesterday...just left after finishing without paying, & without offering an explanation, leaving the guys out of pocket (and almost the marshalls). Come on guys that's not on, hardly gentlemanly behaviour, make yourselves known to russ & pay please. It's like leaving after a meal without paying, may be a bit fun & exciting once for a £20 bill, but for £500 odd?? Cheque to Russ please.
And...there was a thread about using marshalling shields on here t'other day, saying you couldn't run about with a shield, well I've come to the conclusion that you must be a fattie & therefore don't/can't run anyway, because I was running about and sliding with it all day, and making hand signals, and getting in close to players.
