Thread: Upcoming BlitzBall tournament!

    Upcoming BlitzBall tournament!

    I originally posted this information in that other forum but I think this forum is the better place for it.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    I have invented a sport for RubiKa called BlitzBall. Yes I know that there is a sport of the same name in another world (which I learned after the fact). There is no relationship between these two sports.

    BlitzBall is a sport designed to be played in a clan backyard with two teams of 6 people (although we request teams of 7 in case of injury (LD)).

    Unity of the Rose is going to host two events to play BlitzBall. The first will be a pickup game where anyone can come to learn the rules and play. The second will be a tournament. To participate in the tournament you need to be in a team and to have registered your team with me. These events will be on the player events calendar. Both events will be held in the training area of backyard 4 in West Athens right next to the Cup. It should be safe to get there via the grid. All factions are welcome!

    Saturday April 3rd at 3pm Eastern: BlitzBall pickup games.
    Saturday April 10th at 3pm Eastern: BlitzBall tournament.

    Rules for BlitzBall can be found at:
    http://www.unityoftherose.com/guides/blitzball.htm

    If you have any questions, contact me in game or email me at:
    szentasha@unityoftherose.com.

    Please note that to keep things fair, there is a maximum level 30 for participating in these games!

    If you want to create a team, for the tournament on 4/10 you will need the following:
    - 7 people, maximum level 30
    - A team uniform for all team members.
    - 6 white cloaks.
    - 1 colored cloak that matches your team uniform.
    - Someone designated as team captain.
    - A snazzy name.

    The West Athens home team is "The BlitzBall Girls". They are the current reigning champions. Come support your local team!

    Sounds like a lot of fun. A male friend of mine wants to know if it will be shirts vs skins.

    It's a very fun game and my Clan is working on "sponsoring" a Blitzball team.

    Good heavens! This game looks like a absolutely brilliant thing to play!

    Unfortunately I've got less time to play than before and can not join any teams. Is it a crowd pleaser? Where on or near the court can I stand to watch the game? (As not to interfere with the game itself.) Will you post a table after each tournament, so we can follow "our" team?

    And most important: Any bookies on? I want to place a bet on the team Vix is in charge of (100k they win the first tournament @ april 10th)
    By popular demand: Back after a 3 year break!

    Oh, I won't be playing as you have to be level 30 or under. However, I am sponsoring a young fixer to play......

    The game went really well .. it was the BlitzBall Girls in Red vs. the BY4 Brawlers in Blue. The Brawlers managed an upset, winning with a score of 5 to 4. It was a very competitive game.

    I haven't heard much from people about teams yet so I'm postponing this Saturday's game until a future date when we can get some teams together.

    Stay tuned and contact me if you want more info on this.
