This weekend Frank F and Thorsten B visit the Donatus Cup 2010 in Frohnrath near Euskirchen near Cologne (in the Eifel hills).

We wantd to find out, if the sensible scene is comparable to the Kick off scene, and we found out that it is comparable. We had a great day at the tournament and we meet a loot of friendly people.

The tournament itself started around 2 o’clock in the afternoon. We were 17 players. We had some rain in the morning, so it was not as hot as the days before and it was a great time, to play some games and sit outside and talk a bit. We also did a barbecue and some pizzas were ordered. Frohnrath is a very little village and the location was the village community centre I guess. We had everything we need there and enough space for 2 old PC systems (Windows ME) to run the PC-SWOS version.
The tournament went trough the first round. Next the players finished last in the two groups did another round, while the rest did a qualification round for the quarter finals. The players finished last in the qualification round also did a own round while the rest playing the quarter, half and final (also the game for the 3rd place). So in the end the tournament ended at 0.30 on Sunday!

Frank had no luck and was in the group with the better players. He managed to win 2 games and had some draws, but ended in the fun cup. There he managed to score no goal and so he ended last of the tournament.

Thorsten had luck and was in the easier group. There he won his first Sensible Soccer game ever and also did well in the other games. In the end he won 3 games and had some more draws. In the qualification round he had no chance at all and did not even scored a gaol, so in the end. He also finished last in the next round (but at least a goal and a draw) and finally finished 12th. A great success. The halffinals were great sport. In the final Peter had no chance against Andreas, so the favorite AndyYpsilon (Andreas) won the tournament.
