3rd round went without too many incidents

ZTech410 from Qanzonz that up till the 3rd match was sweeping the floor with their opponents, first against “The Dragons" of Zybodia, and later against Iwaar of Michaelhizt was facing now a true match.

The Flying Monkey Attack Squad from Hydroponic Nation, gave a fierce fight against Ztech410 in the first match but was defeated by 7 points.

On the 2nd match they decided to let their defenders do most of the points and used their server as a mere decoy,
Which confused their rivals from Qanzona and landed them both 2nd and 3rd matches.

4th Match is worth mentioning due to a Tie match between Dendor Strikers from Dendor & Flying Monkey Attack Squad from Hydroponic Nation.
It seems that both teams were able, each to take 1 match and required the 3rd match for pass to last round. 3rd match started with Dendor Strikers going on half-half: Half Defense & Half Offense.
They were able to score 17p against 14 of Hydroponic Nation team. 4 minutes later, Dendor strikers were 20:20.
They counter an attack by The Flying Monkey Attack squad which resulted in personal hit (ball jumped on the trampoline) before Dendor Server flipped backward and hit it with his foot to the other side, landing 5p.

What should have been a win for Dendor, was Penalized by the ball hitting the floor which resulted in a 24:20.
In the next 10minutes Dendor Strikers were unable to gain a point and a tie was declared by Technicality.

Both teams moved to the last round

[align=center]** It’s the Final Round of the Bossaball Tournament with 6 teams matched up and now competing as we speak  to see who will take the Medals **

:flash:

:flash:

Chick Habit from Improving Wordiness has shown performance throughout the 4 previous rounds as if they were possessed by Higher ground spirits.

We have heard a lot about the Chick Habit team, also known as The modern day nudist nuns & we were even able to obtain a photo of the team playing soccer against the holy defenders at the Islanders Championship a year ago.

Posted Image

Well today we had the pleasure of witnessing them playing against The Etild Chickens from Etild.
The last expected their rivals to come in heavy garment, but instead, the nuns appeared in A chic la freak Mini green, very baring outfits which threw the Chickens off balance.

Posted Image

The Chick Habit were able to take down the first 2 matches : 25:2 & 25:7 without a sweat and in a quick 4:45 minutes in total for both wins, granting them the best Time Score and landing them The Gold Medal.

:congrats:

Next were The Maples from Pubs of Parkplace who were matched against The Double-Doubles from The Candy Lane.
Now the Doubles were able to serve A Sweet & Sour Punches throughout the 3rd & 4th matches but didn’t have the pleasure of competing against The Maples, another team going for Sweet flavors.

The Maples were able to take the 1st round 25:13 although they had 2 penalty points (1st for hiting the fence & 2nd for hitting their own court by accident).

In the 2nd match, The Double-Doubles server was used as a Dummy, while most attacks were done by their Back: Right & Left Defenders. At 17:20 in favor of “Doubles”, they changed Tactic and their server went for the punch.

He was doing what could only be described as “The Air Walker” Maneuver – flipping and with head to the mattress, did two steps with the ball and kicked him down to the rivals court, winning 5p and taking the 2nd match.

Posted Image



The last match was a bad case of humor. The Double-Doubles opened the match with a bad - out on the blue boundaries hit - which gave them no points & brought them a sour start.

The Maples decided to use an Aggressive offense strategy, deploying mostly Net Volley twice by the server & 3 times by the defenders who unlike typical layout approached the net to take the ball.
The match ended with 25:3 in favor of The Maples landing them The Silver Medal.

:congrats:

Last are Dendor Strikers from Dendor who received a second chance to compete against The Flying Monkey Attack Squad from Hydroponic Nation.
Unlike the previous round, where both team fought to the bitter end without a normal result.
In this round, The Attack Squad was able to gain a quick win with 5 Simple Server strikes: twice by using the foot, once by using the leg & twice by using his head to knock the ball down.

This Strategy however failed miserably during the 2nd match with Dendor Strikers gaining 24:5 in under 3 minutes and landing another 3 points with a server strike str8 into the Trampoline area.



The 3rd match started on the bad side for The Flying Monkey Attack Squad.
They tried to return to the 1st match , server strike and were counter by Dendor Strikers who were already near the net – hitting the ball before it was able to land in their court and gaining 3 points.
The next 2 minutes, the Dendor Team strike for another 12 points landing them at 15:0

Dendor server for some unknown reason decided to gain power and height with jumping over and over on the Trampoline – ball between his thighs when he suddenly lost balance.
He landed on A bad Angle and took a flight outside the Trampoline & Inflatable mattress.....

A Footage of his flight was taken by an Unknown Source:

Posted Image

Suffices to say he landed in the sand with a broken Ankle and the match was stopped for 5minutes.

The Incident has left the Dendor team Un secure.
While they received the ability to do the opening serve, they were countered easily by The Flying Monkey Attack Squad.
The last, decided to use their Defenders as an offensive team – using their server for decoy only.

They were able rather quickly to reclaim all the points matching themselves to Dendor Team 15:15.

Dendor Strikers used two soccer foot work at their rivals, succeeded by one, gaining 5points and lost the other due to penalty point(touching the net).
The 2nd try resulted in the monkeys countering and bringing 5p for trampoline hit.

Last ball was served by Dendor Team. Their server decided to flip and throwing the ball with his thighs, on the other side it was handled by The Monkeys Right defender
who also rotated – throwing the ball up in the air while the left defender hitting the ball again with his hands

Posted Image

He returned the ball to the Right defender who kicked the ball to Dendors court hitting for 3points and taking the match.

The Flying Monkey Attack Squad were able after 6:20minutes to win the last match and landed The Bronze Medal

:congrats:
