I played the first National event of the year down in Christchurch over Easter weekend for SCK. We had Jono, Tom, Tower, Spike and myself.
There were only seven teams in attendance for one reason or another so we played a double round robin on Saturday with Semis and Finals on the Sunday. Both Semis and Finals were best of three affairs. After the Finals were done we had a bit of a free-for-all session where teams got a little taste of the Race2 format with sideline coaching.
We finished the prelims in first place and played Mugshot in the Semis. There was a bit of controversy in one of our games with Tower having an unexplained hit on him. It was in an unusual place and since no one was either shooting at him or could hit him (because I’d already eliminated anyone that could) in that location it was just plain weird. In the end, penalties were assessed and we still had that game. Finished the Semis 2-0.
The Finals were against Clown Monkeys who had a hard fought Semis against Flashpoint. We took the Finals 2-0 too. Good hard games.
