Stockholm 14th sept

Hi all,

Just a quick mail to put the feelers out there to see who would be interested in this tournament in Stockholm weekend of 14th sept.

Billy was informing us that it's Stockholm and Malmö that  are playing. I personally would love to get a Gothenburg team up there to finish the season off. 

Regarding the Ladies, I'm sure there is a ladies game planned up there and if we can get our girls up to either join in with them or on the unlikely event that we get a full ladies team to travel, they could make a team to play in their own tournament . 

To cut to the chase, I'm tryin to find out who'd be willin to travel up. No point going with 4 or 5 people. But if we got 10/11 it'd be worth the trip. 

If billy can find out what the exact running order is up there, and get back to me. 

It's only 3 weekends away so people would have to make a commitment in the next week at the latest, in order to book hostels,  transport and the like.

I'll leave it with yee.
Billy might shed a bit more light on it over the weekend.


Later guys 

Mal. 

P.s. anyone not on this email list, spread the word!

Draw for ladies and men - estonia

Hi all,
Please find attached draw for ladies and men.
Regarding men Copenhagen made suggestion to shorten games as playing
so many games it might be tiring.
I discussed it with Colin (CCO) and Shay (ref) and we could reduce
time for quarter and semi finals to 10 min a side if you all agree.
(A-B group games will be 12,5min a side and finals 15 min) If you
don´t agree then we can have changes on that on Saturday morning.
Anyway timeschedule won´t change.
Please notice that both football pitches are with artificial grass.
Pitch dimensions for men is 90 x 45m. So it is not that perfect as we
wanted but we hope that the size of the pitch doesn´t make the games
and tournament less enjoyable.
If you want to order taxi to get to the pitch then here is the webpage
that has all the offical taxis and their pricelists
http://www.taksod.net/index.php?la=en.
And please take some cash if you want to use sauna and swimming pool
on Saturday. Entrance to swimming pool and sauna costs 4 euros.
If you have any questions or thoughts ask it or share it :)
Otherwise see you on Friday evening or on Saturday morning.
BW, Siret
