You are so right, m8. Now they will have to pay some cash to Team Denmark for doing their job. Seems that two of the French 7-player teams that make up Team France have dropped out of the Millennium Series (Camp Tigers and Enemy) and Tontons Flingueurs have a couple of weddings and whatnot going on.

While we're here, Team Russia did a brilliant job judging X Ball, diving in left and right like a bunch of Supermen and staying so on top of things that virtually no player dared cheat.

The Danes, English and Finns also performed brilliantly. Almost zero complaints from any of the teams.

Mad props to all the others that helped out, especially Matti Marshall and Will Arroyo who did a fantastic job of commenting, Peter U of NY Xtreme and Davie of Miami Effect who helped advise on some rulings and calls and Karlijn who does a great job of scorekeeping.

The light, smoke and music part of the show added a great deal to the presentation and eXcitement. Thanks Robin, Rasmus and Pelle.

Thanks Magued and Stefan, it all ended up looking great after all our sweat, stress and short tempers.

USA, Sweden, Russia and Denmark all earned a place in the play-offs at Campaign Cup and the right to REPRESENT at the World X Ball Championship at the World Cup, against the top four NXL teams.

Looking forward to great X Ball at Campaign Cup and great competition next year within the EXL.

Did anyone quite at half time?

were both teams able to play the whole match without quiting? Im just wondering sexual chocolate and I have differing opinions one the first meeting of the two teams. I want to get my facts straight before he out smarts me again.

If I read your post right and understand your question, then yes - both teams finished the match without dropping out!

Sweden found their way back into the match towards the end and things started to look good - but time beat them to it.

And while you are at it - watch the flicks from Flen Open too, an event just weeks before joy masters catching players like Matt Marshal and Oliver Lang...

Big ups to Håkan who taped it all!

Scroll down to Joy Masters: Sweden vs USA- Part 5. Listen to the recording that came from the tower on the right side next to Sweden's playing pit. After you've downloaded or whatever, slide the bottom bar about 1/4 way from beginning. Then when you see Eric Dearman, I think, move up to the right dorito listen for a comment that says: "Amerikan i vänster tepåsen!" Translated: "American in the left tea-bag (dorito)!"

I would say that if the team who gained any advantage from this, whether or not they won, had anything to do with getting that player in the tower, then that team should be disqualified.

I know the team captain and KNOW that he wouldn't have anything to do with such a thing but instead would be embarrassed about it. One thing is to give a better presentation of his own team, another is to cheat so brazenly and outward in front of the crowd.

I had many Swedes come to me afterward and tell me how embarrassed and disgusted they were with the cheating comments.

Basic disrespect.:(
