The 1999
tournament was supposed to be huge. A language tournament sponsored the
event and donated a nice trophy, medals and bubbly for the winners. 14 teams
were meant to participate in this competition, but one decided not to come
(without any prior warning) and another team decided to leave as they had
lost two and knew they could not qualify. Talk about taking the event far
too seriously...
The event
took place over two days to make a whole weekend of football fun and so
that teams had plenty of rest too. In hindsight, we decided it was not a
good idea as people did not want to play all weekend. Another bad point
was that the waiting between matches was too long.
Anyway, the
event went well and apart from Snazir and the Turkish, everyone seemed to
enjoy themselves.
