Tournament Results
As promised, a full report on the fate of Starsky and Huck:
Our first game was to start at 9:00 am, versus a team known simply as Them. Despite scoring the first point in the game, we were slaughtered a wopping 14-1. A good rule of thumb, for future reference, is never to try and explain a zone defence on the fly to people who have never played the sport before. Unfortunately, our game against Them pretty much set the tone for the rest of the day. We ended the tournament 0 and 4. I did manage to get a taste of sweet, sweet victory, however, by sparing for a friend's team at the end of the day. Unfortunately, it made me miss out on my free 10-minute massage at the first aid tent; they closed at 5 pm.
All told, the event seemed to be a success, despite the controversial $50.00 "donation" each player had to make as an entry fee. I managed to raise $115.00 from pledges at work. The rest of our team fees and our jerseys were covered by our sponsors, Montana's Silver City.
Sending positive vibrations out to: My IT bands. I think I am going to need them for my running clinic tomorrow night. I wish I had someone to to do this (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader).
