Yes yes, it will happen again !
Laura and I are organizing the second edition of this tournament in Rouen
WHAT DOES FIRE MEAN ?
FIRE : “FLINTA – Invitational – Rouen, Epic”.
We invite 16 FLINTA captains, but the draft is open to anyone.
WHAT IS IT ?
The system is simple : we invite 16 FLINTA captains who will draft their teammates amongst all the registered players (= you) ! The format will be an old school but still working 3v3. Games will last 10 minutes (unless you’re ok to wake up at 4am). Registration fees are 20€/player (3 player per team).
HOW DOES IT WORK FOR ME ?
We will soon drop a form asking you for simple informations (Name, City, Estimated level, Few words about you) so you can register for the draft session. It’s open to every one, and we mean it. Don’t feel shy, if you want a chance to be drafted, the only way is to register yourself. There’s no limit for the registrations quantity. There’s not level limit whatsoever. The only thing is that the 16 captains will choose only 32 people (16 captains + 32 players = 48 players = 16x3 players teams. Quick mafs).
There are no reserved spots for Rouen.
DRAFT ?!
Yes ! Draft ! There first will be a lottery to order how captains will chose their teammates. First captain will choose 1 teammate, then the 2nd captain will choose their 1st teammate and so on until we reach the last captain. Then, we reverse order and the last captain will choose their 2nd teammate and so on until the previously first captain have chosen their 2nd teammate.
THE CAPTAINS ?
All levels are represented. If you’re not in it, don’t feel sad about it, it was a difficult choice and we already want to organize it again next year with the captains we couldn’t invite. That doesn’t mean we don’t like you or whatever bad reason, we would have invited a lot more people but the slots aren’t infinite. Nevertheless, register for the draft for a chance to play this amazing tournament !
Dear friends, the DRAFT registration form is officially open to everyone
Quick reminder : we invited 16 FLINTA captains who will pick player from a list. Everyone can register to the list. If you want to have a chance to be picked up, then register !
The form will close on May 31st. Then captains will have 2 weeks to work on their draft and then we’ll (probably) do the draft online like last year.
Avec Nath, on part de Genève le 11 ou 12 septembre. Et on trouve que le covoiturage, c’est super.
Je viens aux nouvelles pour savoir si cela serait envisageable/si des personnes ont besoin d’un lift jusqu’à Rouen donc. 2 places dispos.
Qui aurait besoin d’aller à Rouen en partant de Genève ou Lyon (si vous arriveriez à aller à Macon en TER, ça serait méga arrangeant) ?!
’pouvez me répondre en MP ;)
Juju
PS : On aimerait aussi organiser covoit’ ROUEN → BRUXELLES Grand Royal XIV (début de la semaine du 15)
PS2 : Pareil pour BRUXELLES → GRAND GENEVE (départ dimanche soir 21 sept.)
There will be groups on Saturday, we will announce them soon so you can organize yourself. Just know that if you don’t play, you will have 5 games to ref, hold the stream cam and help at the bar if you can. That’s about 1 hour. Games will be 10 minutes as usual in Rouen; stopping the time at the last 2 minutes (yes, old school bikepolo). If everything runs fine on Saturday, maybe we’ll do 12 minutes games on Sunday.
There will be a kinda welcoming party on Friday at Rustine and maybe some polo just before. You can buy beers, soft drinks and food there. All diets.
There will be a party involving every players on Saturday night (last year it was a teams Pictionnary, what is it gonna be ?!).
We haven’t talked about registrations fees, sorry there was a lot going on. It’s gonna be maximum 25€/player, maybe 20 if we can (there will be food for every meals even Saturday at the bar).
BRING YOUR CUTLERY (cups, plates, everything you would need to eat) !!!
All info available here :
Doc will be updated as soon as we can with the groups and schedules
Starting tomorrow, french people will do what they do best : a strike
Trains will be delayed or cancelled but you should be updated by mail or on the app. I would advise most of you to arrive on Thursday or Friday (especially people from Paris who –I never get why– love to arrive on Saturday morning ). You should be able to take the next train if yours is cancelled but don’t hesitate to talk to the people at the station. Maybe learn some french beforehand cause they’re real bad at english
