Youthwave 2008: Quiet Before the Storm

Anticipation clouds the horizon as Youthwave Floorball Tournament 2008 draws nearer. Check the club blogs all over Penang. Nothing up, in posts or chatboxes except for some very obscure stuff (Cap'n E, ManYoo kicking Liverpool's butt and the Iron Lady's face paralysis). It's like no one knows what to expect out of this, presenting the dilemma:

To take this seriously or not?

Youthwave was established for wholly different reasons than the other tournaments that dot the calendar, for fun and fellowship rather than serious competition. No pressure is put on teams to perform in Youthwave, unlike Penang League. It doesn't matter, win or lose.

On the flipside, a gold is a gold, nothing changes that fact. Everyone likes to win (well, stating the obvious here..), everyone likes to have that gold-coated plastic medal hanging on them. Like Sports Day in school, where you know the medals you hold are meaningless, something your mom would throw away next year, but you just bask in the moment. Your moment.

So it's your choice whether to take it seriously or not, but there are a few things to remember:
1. Come on time (please!)
2. Don't leave anything behind
3. Come for the Youthwave Concert the next day (7.00pm, GBC)
4. Enjoy yourself

Frontliners will be sending four teams in again: Frontliners Revolution and Renegades (guys) and Frontliners Fury and Inferno (ladies). More on this to come after the tournament.
