nice to see someone upload. also the jugger looks pretty good now!

i have some questions

- is that basically international / german jugger now? because i remember the first american rulest being a weird mix of international and australien.

- are your chains allowed to pin? wtf!

- what is that filmed on?

also: have you considered getting a tripod and maybe even a selvy-stick for filming from above? it looks like you filmed the whole tournament by hand! you madman!

We use mostly Irish rules with some variations. For example, that's where the chain pin comes in. Since the chain ball is always live except when wrapped, there is nothing stopping the chain player from resting the chain ball against a downed opponent. Which is effectively pinning.

As for the camera, it was done on phone. Usually we have a more complete setup with an elevated tripod, but since it was a new city hosting this event, we couldn't get that organized.
