Martin, Bouchard and Morgan won in Annecy
Anti (Bouchard, Morgan, Martin) won the Brochet D`or in Annecy last weekend.
The tournament with 24 teams is a traditional tournament. Two courts are set up for the weekend.
On Friday, many of the players met up at a bar and chatted. On Saturday, there was one big group playing Swiss rounds. As the lake was only a few minutes away, many of the players enjoyed cooling off there.
After the first day, Anti was in first place with 5 wins. Sunday was not going to be sunny. It rained in the morning, but contrary to the forecast it got much better and even a bit sunny in the afternoon.
Rosebud (Cathal, Lisa, Emmet) played against Anti in the Winners Bracket semi-final. Neither team managed to score a goal during the match. In the end it was Bouchard who sent his team into the final by scoring the golden goal.
In the second semi-final, Jalapeno (Tomas, Jason, Levin) played against With Pleasure (Kropa, Nath, Joe). The team with Tomas from Geneva won confidently with 2:0
In the Winners Bracket final, Jalapeno lost 6:1 to Anti, who thus entered the final unbeaten. The Loosers Braket Final was an exciting game between Rosebud and Jalapeno. Tomas scored 5 seconds after winning the Joust to make it 1-0. Shortly before the end Levin scored the 2:0, which was the final score.
The final between Anti and Jalapeno was a close game. At the end of regulation time, the score was 2-2 and the golden goal was to decide the match. Once again, it was Bouchard who scored the golden goal with a big shot and sent his team to victory.
