The Beginning - Day 1

What a beginning it was !
An awesome start with a 3 set grueling battle between Socrates and Plato.
Plato won 2 - 1

In other match of the day,
between Archimedes and Copernicus,
Copernicus won 2-0

The results and some photos are available here at our Scoreboard.

You are the proud and chosen one for the first comment.

I think the first day was terrific with great crowd support and fantastic team efforts.

On the team names,

What's in a name ? said Munshi Premchand years ago.

Or wait was that Shakespeare !
Well, what's in a name.

An ideal start for the tournament.With the three setter in the first match that too last set ended at 16-14.Great comeback for Plato after losing the first set.In this tournament very important to win points rather than relying on the mistake of opposite team as everyone mastered to cross the ball with one touch.
Copernicus seems to be strong and favorites for the semis.But other teams seems to be surprise package.Looking forward for Saturday's match.

Hi evolleymates,

I was part of the first eVolleympics and enjoyed the thrill and excitement.

This time I am missing it very much.

The idea of starting a blog session on internet is fantastic. This way I feel that I am enjoying the tournament live!! Thanks to eVolleymates and organization committee.

Both Opening games were great entertainer for Audience and for teams as well..!!!

About 1st Match,
Being in PLATO , I found it little tiring to play three sets and last one...relly LOOOOOONG one..
in Last 30-45 mins both teams were looking exhausted...

bUt on a whole it was a good opening for OUR team....

Keep ROCKing PLATO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the key for WIN in this tournament will be "Stemina" as we are playing it in midst of AHMEDABAD SUMMER.......
