Comments
Tänker fortsätta vara den som vunnit alla NAFsanktionerade turneringar i Norge.
Har ingen om vart eller om jag jobbar nånstans men det lär märkas.
Jag hoppas jag är fri och kan vara med i år igen. Kanontrevlig stad. Får vi liveband denna gången också?
1) 3 kamper lørdag, 3 søndag. Som i fjor.
2) 3 kamper lørdag, 2 søndag. For at søndagen skal bli mer avslappende.
3) 4 kamper lørdag, 2 søndag. Fordi 6 kamper er fint.
Synspunkt? Personlig heller jeg mot #1, men vi lytter gjerne.
Jag tycker att alternativ 3 är bäst, sedan 1 och sist alternativ 2.
+1
Instämmer med detta.
Och likaså jag!
2 matcher på söndag är att föredra för oss som reser en bit.

Pouring Rain special rule
For Game 3 only, there will be a special rule in place to reflect Bergen’s reputation as one of the wettest places in Europe. On the Weather table Nice and Pouring Rain will be swapped, (So 4-10 is Pouring Rain, 11 is Nice) and regardless of the result in the kickoff chart there will always be a gust of wind.

See the tier chart below for information on how many and which type of skills your selected team can choose. A coach may use some or all of the extra cash (tier 2 & 3 only) to buy skills.
