1st Tournament Experience / 初めての大会

We have competed in JPBU match which helf on April 20th at Akasaka Jr.High. It was our first official match appearance. The picture is the final game. Our team was consist of myself as point, Buehler-san as Middler, and Ace as tir. Unfortunately, we have defeated in the elimination round by points even though we have won 2 games. I felt sick to my stomach about not advanced to final tornament, but the team which has defeated us has won the tournament. The ground condition require us a soft roller which we have never experienced. But no excuse! I would like to develop the play style which works in every condition. Our biggest gain from the sand grinding experience was that Ace has decided to have frequent practice session.
4/20に赤坂中学校で開催されたJPBUの公式戦に参戦してきました。 我々にとって初めての公式戦です。 写真はファイナルの様子です。 我々のチームは、私がポアンテ、ビューラーさんがミドラー、エースがティールでした。予選リーグで2勝1敗ながら得失点差で決勝トーナメントに進めず、悔しい思いをしましたが、せめてもの救いは私達が負けたチームが優勝した事でしょうか。ソフトに転がす手法を要求するグランドで、このようなコンディションでの経験はありませんでした。 しかし言い訳はしません! どんなコンディションにも対応しえる技術を身につければイイはず。今回の参戦で良かった事はエースが定期的に練習をすると言いだした事ですね。

Was nice meeting your family yesterday at Akasaka.

Come down to Myoshoji Park to play sometimes. On April 29 we will have a petanque party for Albert if you are free.

It was nice meeting you, too at Akasaka. Thank you very much for the invitation on 4/29. Unfortunately I will be away from Japan visiting Germany for business purposes. Please give my best regards to Albert-san.
And Yes, we would love to visit Myoshoji. Not only to play with you guys, but I would love an opportunity to have revenge match against those old gizzers who won the tournament! With the slow roller that I have started practicing!!!
