Dear Friends!

2. Oosterhout Twins (NED)
3. Hluboka Cardinals (CZE)
4. Baseball Club Zagreb (CRO)
5. Kranjski Lisjaki (SLO)
6. Dinamo Bucharest (ROM)

8. Dornbirn Indians (AUT)
9. Sissach Frogs (SUI)
10. Bad Homburg Hornets (GER)
11. Hellevoet Athletics (NED)

Among the 12 Teams from 8 different countries we have 7 former Euro-Cup starters and very strong teams from the Netherlands, Czech Republic and Germany. Further we are very happy to welcome for the first time a team from Romania, Dinamo Bucharest!
Those teams who have been to our tournament in the last years may notice some changes and further improvements on our facility. Last week we signed the contract for construction of our new stands with a seating capacity of 250 people. Works will already begin in two weeks and hopefully we can open our new stands with a great tournament! Visit our Website at www.athletics.fm (ballpark section) to follow the works!
Right now we are working on the program for this years tournament. As you all probably know, the European Soccer Championships will take place in Austria and Switzerland in June 2008. As we have a lot of teams at Finkstonball XI from nations who are also qualified for the EURO 2008 our tournament was choosen as a special EURO 2008 promotion event. Right now we are negotiating that we get sponsorship for a big players BBQ after the opening game on Saturday evening. Further this years opening game will be a little different than in the years before. We could arrange that the Austrian Senior National Team will play the opening game against a Finkstonball All Star team! Two members of each team will be nominated by their coaches to the FBXI All-Star Team!
As we would like use the mainfield as much as possible we could already start playing on Friday late afternoon if some teams arrive early. Please e-mail me if your team would like to play already on Friday!
As we would like to print a tournament program with some information about participating teams please email the following files & information to Daniel Kroiss [ d.kroiss@athletics.fm ]:
