Inaugural London 'Friendly Fire' Tourney
20th March 1999
Location: On the playing fields just south of the London Zoo, Regent's
Park.
Thanks to everyone who has emailed me with positives and with
expressions of interest. The following teams have indicated that they
will be playing at the Tourney:
1. Dough Boy - joffers@ibm.net
2. Kniggets - k970003@kingston.ac.uk
3. First Touch - David Whitehead
4. Under Cover Lovers
5. Albatross -
6. Chaos -
7. G Spots - Stefan Moores, perchat@hotmail.com
The following teams have yet to confirm their entry:
1. Playthings - Robert Trup, rob.trup@virgin.net
2. Onion Terror - Paul Hurt, paul@ultimatum.demon.co.uk
3. Uni of Surrey Ultimate - Ben McCormack, cs81bm@surrey.ac.uk
4. None of the Above - Spud, timothy, surry@kcl.ac.uk
5. Imperial College - ultimate@ic.ac.uk, jolyon.thompson@ic.ac.uk
There may be enough people coming in to pick up on teams to justify an
ad hoc Friendly Fire team. Players seeking to pick up should come
prepared with one light and one dark shirt to fit the colours of the
team with which you will be playing.
FORMAT
The format of the tourney will be a division into two pools, randomly
drawn. In the event sufficient 'maybes' confirm entry in time there may
be a third pool to accommodate the numbers.
Pools will play a round robin format and there will be intermediate
playoffs between the top two teams from each pool against each other in
a standard semi-final / final set up.
The third pitch (and we should have ample space for one, will be made
available for the other teams to play each other. Matches will be
organized by the captains amongst themselves with the understanding that
games should be capped at 45 minutes in length to allow other teams time
on the pitch.
SCHEDULE
Captains' Meeting will be at 12.15pm on the pitch. Teams should try and
bring their own cones / accessories with them and volunteer to set up
the pitches prior to the tourney's first game.
First game will start at 12.45pm and will be capped at 45 minutes or 11
points, whichever comes first.
There will be a 15 minute gap between games to exchange calls and rest
up for the next match.
ETHOS
The tourney has been dubbed Friendly Fire to emphasize that the Spirit
of the game is the primary driving force behind the competition. There
are no entry fees and no prizes save for the kudos earned by good play.
I hope this ethos survives to permeate any subsequent expansion of the
Friendly Fire Tourney into a regular league format, a strong possibility
in light of the immensely encouraging response I have received from
London Teams and Ulty players up and down the country.
I urge everyone to get behind the spirit of Friendly Fire and make it a
great day out.
