The social aspects of the Iron Cabal

Fathers vs. Sons

For me the most enjoyable aspect about the Iron Cabal tournament clearly is the social one. One big reason is that people from all over Switzerland unite to play WM/H together; since we are a small country with an even smaller community, this feels quite good.

Another reason is that +Robi Deola always comes up with new and cool ideas, like in the IC4 we had a Fathers vs. Sons special price as both +Gergely Gati and +Andre Suwanda play with their offspring. The rule was very simple: whoever placed better would either get the bottle of Champagne (Fathers) or the Coke (Sons). Actually, the Fathers trailed their sons throughout the tournament until the final game when they were able to close in for a tie, so we had two (i.e. four) lucky victors. :-D

However, for me the most important part of the tournament is lunch, even more important than giving away the prizes. Nothing beats taking a break and chat through all the sense and nonsense any way remotely connected with WM/H. Last Sunday's topic were the benefits of licking cats and toads. Don't ask me why.
