The end of eVolleympics'07. eVolleympics'08 begins...
Finally, there is cease fire. The war of eVolleympics'07 has ended.
The champions are crowned. Copernicus.
They won against Zeno with 3 - 15, 15 - 6, 15 -9, 15 -11.
Copernicus were crowned by the CEO, Mr. Pratul Shroff.
Copernicus remain unbeaten through out the championships. As they say, there can only be one winner.
But there are no losers. Each team fought well and fought hard.
Before the final battle, there was "friendly fire" amongst the Coaches and the Champions.
The Champions won 15 - 13.
This championships is a celebration of team spirit of eInfochips. A big thank you to all.
It could not have been possible without the support of the top - level management.
They encouraged all of us to go ahead and do the tournament.
The much abused but totally committed HR.
They spell support and money for us.
The Admins and the office boys who were the logistics back bone for us.
Without them, there was no volleyball.
The eVolleympics organizing committee.
They took time off from their schedules so that this tournament equals success.
The most important of all, You, the chipmate !
You who participated in this championships.
You who cheered for your team.
You who voted and followed the whole eVolleympics.
You who forgave all our shortcomings and failures.
You who were there when it mattered the most.
To borrow a cliche, indeed there is no success without U.
We don't believe that this is the end. We know we will be back next year. With eVolleympics'08.
The practice begins from next Sunday @ 7:30 AM MG Science College Ground.
See you there !

Final - The Crowning Glory !
Zeno - The underdogs throughout the tournament. The most underrated team.
Copernicus - The most likeliest team that can claim the trophy.
The Final of eVolleympics 2007. Who was the crowned team. Did Scientist win the trophy or was the Philosopher reigned supreme? The battle for supremacy was at its culmination.
In front of the teams laid a match that could be played upto maximum 5 sets. None of the teams were in a mood to play that long. They wanted to win quick and fast.
Zeno won the toss and elected to serve. Served they did. Copernicus did not know what hit them. Before they could spell V-O-L-L-E-Y-B-A-L-L, they were down 10 -1.
By the time, they spelt, it spelt DOOM for them as Zeno won the first set 15 - 3 !
Talk about reversal of fortune. Zeno did everything right in the first set. Alas, that was the only set that they did right. Copernicus wokeup after a slumber with the energizing TANG!.
It was Copernicus's time to serve in the second set. Hardik opened the serve. And he was in no mood to let go. The score card started behaving like a up-counter. Copernicus whizzed past 0 - 0 to 6 - 0 in 5 minutes.
Now, it was time for bureaucracy to take over for few minutes. A debate rose what if Copernicus scores another point, do they win the set 7 - 0 as there is no break in the serve ? What does the rule book say asked Zeno. Copernicus were pretty sure that they will win 7 - 0. The rule book did not mention anywhere about the 7 - 0 rule. The person who wrote the rule book was the captain of Copernicus team ! Fortunately, the debate did not last long as the Rule book saved the day. Copernicus had to reach 15 points to win the set.
By the time Hardik lost his serve, the score was 10 - 0 in favour of Copernicus. A position from which Copernicus never wavered. They swiftly won the second set 15 - 6.
In the third set, Copernicus were in top form. They cruised along to win 15 - 9.
The beginning of the fourth set saw some attacking game from both the teams. The scores were levelled at 8 - 8. This was the set where Zeno could capitalize and return in the match. Few tactical errors on Zeno's part and good smashes from Rohit of Copernicus, and Copernicus eliminated the need of the 5th set. Copernicus won the set 15 - 11.
The final score is available at the Scoreboard. Copernicus were the champions of eVolleympics 2007 !
The CEO of eInfochips Ltd, Mr Pratul Shroff presided over the ceremony and awarded the trophy to Copernicus.
