Paging my Aussie friends

[KingPete]

Hello my friends ...

I have been approached by jimmysymtex to Captain an Aussie team in his ongoing International Tournament . To do this we will need to organise a team of 5 players ( and a reserve or 2 I would think ) to participate . Now there are a few " impediments " to us participating ..... I am told the tournament time is 9 pm GMT .... which from what I am told , is 2 hours after British Crown and thus ..... ewwwwww ..... 6 am ....... I suppose I can coax my way out of a warm bed to do this .... so that is a major stumbling block for a few I daresay lol . The next part of the deal is that the next tourney occurs from the 5th to the 9th of October ...
Stiil unsure as to the actual details of how the tournament is played but I believe it is 1 person from each team plays on each of the 5 days .
Anyhow if anyone interested could let me know either here or in a PM and we will see if we can organise something .......

Thanks for your time
Pete

Ok i did this around a year ago it's tuffer than it sounds, i'm up for it so you can count me in.

[stevo_58]

Love to play Pete, but as Darth said that's 4.00 am WA time. I'll do it if it's a Saturday or Sunday but probably not a good idea on a work day lol. I reckon it would be great fun though.

Just tell me one thing, I'm a pom so if we won would that mean I'd beat myself???? (no need for inuendo replies anyone, I've already thought of all the possible ones lol)

Count me in Pete. As long as I have a days notice I can be up that early.

[Ausangel]

love to play but 6am is not good either going to work or just going to bed lol

[HopeImLucky]

King Pete, this tourney isn't played on weekends - just Monday to Friday.
That's why its 5 players per team, reserves are only for when another team member doesn't turn up.
