LEAPS Summer School Challenge Cup

The FIFA World Cup may be edging towards its conclusion this weekend, however the football-related excitement will continue with the LEAPS Challenge Cup on Wednesday 21 July (week 7). Put simply, our tournament will be just like with World Cup but won't be tainted by commercialism and will be mercifully free of terrace tourists wearing clown wigs who are more concerned about being seen on the big screens than watching the team the purport to follow.

Anyway, getting off my soap box for a moment, here's some basic information about the tournament:

Where and when: The tournament will take place in the Meadows Arena at approximately 4.30pm on Wednesday 21 July.

Teams: Each team should be made up of 4 males and 4 females. You can draw your team from across different tutorial groups as you desire, although your team should only be drawn from current Summer School students. There will be a combined staff and Personal Tutor team.

Registering your team: Teams should be registered by Tuesday 20 July. Simply e-mail at james.lamb@ed.ac.uk with the names of your players and I'll compile the fixture list.

Duration: Each game will last 20-minutes. The number of games each team plays will be determined by the number of participating teams.

The tournament is really just intended to be a bit of fun and will be played in a good spirit. Don't worry if you're not the best player - I've seen some of the staff team training and, rest assured, you'll be in good company.

Be sure to follow all the exciting build up to the tournament here etc...
