Number of teams depends on availability of more courts. The idea is to play the shit out of our home court, so a smaller tourney would be best. But we have a few ases under our sleeves....

We have 2 different fields setup. Our homefield, La Aspirina, is slippery if it's dusty or wet. But the other one is grippy.

"Las marcas que se han interesado por el torneo son muchas y desde aquí les agradecemos su ayuda para con el torneo."

This is the reason the tournament cost 15/personn ???!!!

Mr.Carrillo

Barcelona

There are costs involved with organizing an event. Although we have the support of many companies that have been very generous, our funds are very limited. We have tons of prizes and goodies for the players but unfortunately, I can't pay the paramedics in wheels and mallets.
The tourney at Toulouse was 5€/person, but the t-shirt was 10€. I don't see what's the big deal about it.
