“Elite SMACK final!

Da Tribe got forfeited through the semis, the opponents hadn't payed the required bribe... er, i mean fee, to Cabalvision, so they refused to connect the game. :-)

Nasty Dorfs waited in the final, and they received first. Da Tribe brought a wizard, and he fireballed the Dorfs in T3 when they tried to break down one flank. Only one dorf went down, but that was just enough to let da Tribe move in and pop the ball. It went into the crowd, who threw it into the middle of the field. The rest of the half both teams were fighting for possession, the Dorfs coming out on top in T8 but barely failing the short pass to TD. 0-0 at half-time. Pheeeeeew.

2nd half started with a pitch invasion that left almost the entire Dorf team down. Da Tribe started moving upfield, but we weren't fast enough, so the Dorfs could get back into position and box us in. In T5 we had to try some risky moves to get out of it. We made all the difficult rolls and then fell down on a snakes GFI. Always fail the easy part! That handed the ball to the Dorf Runners, who escaped with it and ran all across the field to score the winning 0-1 TD in the last turn.

It was bad play by da Tribe, after that PI we really should have moved the ball faster, then the Dorfs would have been left out of position. Maybe we should have risked a quick pass between the Blitzers in the very first turn to get the ball into the offensive half. Maybe we got tied down on crowdpushing that TS also, perhaps we should have left him alone. Ah well. GG Nachtogen, well played, see you around.”
