after a difficult start into the tournament – ending up 3rd in the first pool after losing to strong playing Iznogood – the freespeed open team tried to forget thursday and focus on the games to come in the upper pool on friday. winning against Friselis (6:4) and Mooncatchers (11:5) in the upper pool, the loss against Cobra Kai (9:11) made some of the team feel sorry for the Mooncatchers, who so far only lost to us and could have gone to quarters if we had beaten Cobra Kai… quarters (11:6 vs. Gentle Open) and semis (9:6 vs. CUSB La Fotta) were both hard fought and well spirited games that ended up in our favour. finals agains so far unbeaten Ragnarok from Copenhagen promised a tough game in difficult conditions. a lot of wind and a little rain made it difficult to play nice and safely. both teams started with some big plays and some lucky scores. a bit more will to come down with the disc (or some may say a few more lucky passes) on Freespeed’s side pushed the score to a 3 point lead at halftime. after a last funny and lucky catch, two promising talents (and brothers) closed the game with a last upwind break: 12:7. the title was defended!
many thanks to Glenn and the whole crew for another great TT edition (winning TT twice in a row is nothing, compared to organizing a high quality tournament like TT x times in a row!)
thanks to all our opponents for awesome games in difficult conditions!
sorry to Friselis for some no-so-good reactions on our side in the uper pool game… (it made us think a lot about our spirit of the game and we were really happy that those thoughts were reflected in our 3rd rank of the spirit of the game evaluation).
thanks for a spectacular final and all the best of luck on the way to the US Open to Ragnarok!
