Seingalt,

will a ronin find a team (a good one if lucky) on match day?

**HandsomeWarrior** · 22nd January 2008, 10:40 PM

I will be attending this one as well. Sorry sid, but my roster is full

We usually don´t have many spares on our dojo´s teams, but I´m pretty sure there should be some spaces. Now, as for a good one...that´s luck I guess, but someone from the organization will know better than me. I just attend every year. The tournament for this one has a very pro feeling, with sponsors and digital screens for pools (at least last year).
The waseda guys last year were awesome to watch. Fantastic experience, and they go there with a winning attitude, not just on a relaxed state, which is a huge plus in my book.
