| So there it was. This year's European Club championship is over.
Great games, crappy system as we are now outranked by teams we didn't even play against, but so be it.
Rudi's system worked really well. Of course there are still quit some adjustments to make, but hey. He only had 4 days or so to build it.
Reaction time by the referees was great. Immediately after the fault was committed the game was stopped by the water ref so no disputes by the players about having the game go on for too long, Of course a lot of disputes on the refs decision, but that is something completely different.
Most refs playing with the 1 liter bottle didn't have trouble swimming with it. The hose needs to be a bit longer and some neoprene will be put around the bottle for protection of the players.
Talked to Tony and the system will most likely be introduced/used at the competition in Istanbul.
Thanks for the great work Rudi and looking forward to seeing the improved version! |
