So in all seriousness what are the chances that this can be pushed back towards the back end of september. This soon after worlds will be peak burnout time. Also, many may be still wandering around Europe this soon after Worlds. I need to make my first trip to Ottawa but it will be much more likely at the end of the month.

hey, sorry for the delay, i was hoping to play on a random team, but we'll see who's around and what alexis is doing with the teams. I really enjoyed playing with new people for ESPI and North Americans. Thought it forced me to up my game straight away since you can't rely on people since you don't know their style for the beginning.

To all the distracted and confused;

I went to the court to figure out what was happening.
I thought I was playing with some other guys, but that was hypothetical hypocracies.
All nominations considered, we chose to form a team of three players present: Jizza, AK, and me. All Quebexican
My appologies for creating any confusion for these last minute placements.
JB and Katie, I hope you still find a team.
Tex, thanks for keeping it together with all of us scrambling like this. Also noted are the words of wisdom: talk to your team mates

Once again, may you all have a cordial time on and off the court.

Mallets of Mayhem , Sunday practice. Good day today, hot enough to melt all the cheap orange balls. Showed up at 2:30 and saw that Bob had set up camp. We had our 6 around 3pm when Mark showed up. Most players displaying the usual explosions of power. Gilles must have scored 3 in a row. By the time I took off, we had three on the bench waiting the next crew rotation, a bunch of empty cans and only one vertebrae dislocation.

Thanks NYC for bringing me back to your amazing city!!

Thanks Ottawa for hosting. Seriously some of the best levels of tournament play i have yet to experience. Made so many great new friends, I will be visiting alot of you in your cities over the next few months. Boston and Philly are first on my list after NYC.

Thanks Glen and Shane for playing with me and Ngaihon and Ange for filling in. Super proud of my buds Dream Team, it was an honour to fill in that one game for you.

Im pretty sure Monkey touch was equal 5th with Magic Toast though...
