Assuming 1) I get to play at Eurobowl and 2) Scotland play England, I want to play Pigstar. He beat me at Pearlies, and I want revenge.

guessing it will be the same rules as the last few years then

or have the italians got a trick up their sleeve of making it 8x halfling teams and have been busy finding the best 8 fling coaches in italy while everyone else books their flights ;]

of course, we've got a dirty trick

rules will be almost the same of last years, but with a small change in points. maybe Farina already told to the team captains but we are considering to give 1 bonus point for team victory.
anyway, after this weekend (I'm busy in organization of Tilean Team Cup) I will have enough time to post rules, prices and methods of payment

I don't like very much this idea.

Team Germany is also complete. I name the players after we arranged our flights.

And this year we have some cheering fans with us as my wife and child will come with me

Kewan, I assume you mean you don’t like the +1 for a win?

At first I wasn’t sure, but now I like it. It rewards the win above all else, and means it’s less likely that crushing victories (perhaps against ‘weaker’ nations) will give a huge advantage.

Imagine this [edited!] situation:

Team Ireland win 5-3 and 5-3
Team Sweden lose 3-5 and win 7-0

Without the +1 bonus, Team Ireland’s 2 wins would earn them the same points as Team Sweden's 1 win – (10 each)

With the +1 bonus, Team Ireland would ?deservedly? get more (12 points to Sweden's 11).

Often, non-team tournaments that give a massive points advantage for huge wins are seen as unbalanced as the guy who beats dwarfs 1-0 and 1-0 with hardly any Cas often comes out with fewer points than the guy who loses one game but hammers halflings 5-0 on TDs and Cas in the other.

So I would see this as a break from tradition, but a good change that keeps things balanced.
