Such numbers saw the birth in 2002 of the Euro League, an inter-club competition played in several clubs between March and October. 2004 saw Munich crowned as overall champions after 8 rounds played, in Rennes, Paris, Guernsey, Luxembourg, Munich, Amsterdam, Barcelona and The Hague.
Each round uses a group-based round-robin format, ensuring that all teams involved get a fair number of games, and that the best teams progress to the knockout stages. The year's overall winner is determined on the basis of points awarded for the position achieved in each tournament throughout the year.
Results did not match performances, and the wooden spoon came our way, but experience was gained and the appetite was whetted for the 2005 campaign!!
