Looks like it's on then.

See you all on the 22nd, and you on the 15th for that warm up S.Bock.


Edit; Anyone know if the U21 schedule would allow them to get in on this also?

Could we make a quick vote?

Do you wanna play on neutral court? or with homecourt-advantage?

Is neutral court even possible?

(Note: I've scheduled a grand total of 1 scrimmage for the national team, so I may be mistaken, but I don't remember seeing an option for neutral court.)

I don't think neutral courts are possible.

Seems reasonable enough to me to have the games hosted by the lower ranked team. And not just because that means 3 home games for me. :)

They are possible, we played one last week. It's just at that point Cymru was a place below
Scotland in the rankings, now we are a place above them and the neutral court idea has strangely been scrapped.

we could play at neutral courts, too!

I thought, that the games would be more interesting if the lower team has got the homecourt-advantage.

But, for the match between Scotland and Wales neutral court would make sense, cause between pklac 69 and 70, there is no real difference.

In my opinion, it would be f.ex. for Scotland the most interesting to have homecourt against England (cause at neutral we would have no chance), neutral court against Wales... and we would like to travel to Ireland.

I think for Wales it could be similar (home vs. England// on the road vs. Ireland)

I just want to have as much matches as possible, which will be real close. -- Do you understand my point of view?

(Just one thing about neutral court: If we play at a neutral court, there is no difference if this court is in Jamaika, USA or GB)
