Eagles win ESSL Germany tournament
On June 25th/26th the Eagles from Wiesbaden won the ESSL tournament in Reutlingen, Germany. With this win the Eagles and the Guzzlers Black are tied in the league ranking with 18 points heading to the last league tournament in August in Italy where the league champion will be crowned.
The tournament in Reutlingen seems to be a good place for the European teams as the Dream Team (Slovenia) ranked third and the Toros (Switzerland) fourth. With these rankings both teams have a chance for the third place in the ESSL league ranking.
A new concept was introduced in Germany. After the round robin round the teams were divided into two competitions based on their rankings in the group. The first and second of each group played the championship tournament and the 3rd and 4th of each group the Govenors Cup.
