Hello!

So, I've got two teams entered.

Neither of them are called the "UCD Stars"

The names are just as crappy though.

So I was thinking...

Helena
Diarmuid
Mark
Me
Lorcan?
Matt

Bill
Garbhann
Evan
Niall F
Cormac "Child-catcher" Roche

So, it's pretty tight for numb ers, as you can see.
What that does mean though is that you get loads of polo-playing experience and get to really grow and develop.
There's the possibility of maybe moving one from the top list to the bottom, obviously depending on what I hear back from Lorcan.

Another possibility is that we could go try find someone else? I'm going to leave it up to you guys whether you want to have that cover or have more game-time. Whauddya reckon?

I haven't gotten a confirmation on start time, but these things usually have their first match at 10.30 and go on until about 4/5. We should have about 6/7 matches over the weekend.

Be there good and early. It really, really messes you up when you're sprinting to get on the water.

have fun

Lols...I believe names have been selected...it was a late night job. The brainstorm was themed around stars and space, many suggestions were made, many mercifully rejected.

I can't remember how it ended. I seem to remember suggesting "UCD Semi-Eclipse"

Here's a thread for future suggestions!

Mark · August 10, 2012, 16:14:08

Are there any details about the tournament anywhere on the web?

EDIT: moved to correct thread
