atapene will become famous soon enough
...on the bus to the pool, which takes about 30mins, i actually saw a few big billboards in the city that we went past advertising the event.

here are a few more pics. the uwh pool sure enough has a 45 degree slope on the corners that sticks out about half a meter which the barriers will need to be installed inside... just makes the court a bit shorter and complicates penalty shots a tiny bit, no drama as has been made out ASSUMING the barriers are decent... fingers crossed. the pool tiles do look nice but they could be tacky we'll only find out when we are able to get in. there are a few grates and perforated steel plates collected in the corners of the pool which could make at least one of the corners interesting, taking up a lot of the space in the corner, could make it far easier for defending teams to slow the play in the corner but again we'll see.

(PS, for photo labels see the file names, hold mouse over the photo and it should popup)
