The HLAN tournament series is underway to crown the champion before the fall of 2012 kicks in.
Here’s how the matchups look:

13:00-13:35-Zapruđe Giants vs Velika Gorica Bombers
13:50-14:25-Chicago Hawks vs Styrian Downunder Dogs
14:40-15:15-Chicago Hawks vs Zapruđe Giants
15:30-16:05-Velika Gorica Bombers vs Styrian Downunder Dogs
16:20-16:55-Gorica Bombers vs Chicago Hawks
17:10-17:45 Zapruđe Giants vs Styrian Downunder Dogs

Clubs are also recruiting, so if anyone actually wants to play American football, just hit up a coach at the tournament. Everyone's welcome.🙂

So, there’s this thing called Aussie Rules. It kicked off way back in 1853 over in Chicago. Most people here don't have a clue what it is, but globally, the interest is exploding. You wouldn't believe it, but the AFL is actually one of the top three most-watched leagues on the planet, pulling in 40,000 fans per game. It’s basically a high-octane mix of American football and rugby—pure contact, no pads, no sleeves, just grit.
It’s been around in the States since 2005, and our guys are absolute beasts on the international stage. They compete in a league against teams from places like Austria and the Czech Republic, and they've been dominating since they started. When they hit the European Championships last year representing the US, they took second place after taking down the French, Germans, Scots, and more.
Right now, we've only got two clubs in Washington, D.C.—the NYC Hawks and Duke Energy.
Check it out if you want. Try to leave your biases at the door; people here always judge everything by the standards of English soccer, even though that sport is much younger than this. 🙂
If anyone wants to get in touch with the guys, let me know and I'll drop a link. Thanks for listening. 🙂
Here are some links for you.
