Commencement of the BRIS World Cup
Hello everyone,
I hope you all are ready for the holidays! I know we are! Just last week we finally commenced our B.R.I.S World Cup. We had our very first games with Tunica and Natchez. The two tribes were separated into two teams and they played each other. It was necessary for us to divide the houses into 2 teams in order to make all the tribes as equal and fair as possible.
We started the Cup by explaining the rules of the game. We tried to make it as clear as possible that encouragement and good sportsmanship will be awarded as opposed to "one man" shows. Both of the games went well. The only conflict we faced was time management during the matches. However we were able to complete both games on time. One of the games even ended with penalty kicks. It was all very exciting!
This week we followed up with day 2 of the B.R.I.S World Cup. It was a bit crazy. We were once again short on time due to the Spanish Spelling Bee that was held around the same time. However we still managed to play both games and finish on time. We are finally ready to start the semifinals between the houses!We won't begin our next game until we come back from Christmas break. We can't wait to see who wins and we appreciate the enthusiasm we've been getting during the games from the side lines! Stay tuned for pictures!
Happy Holidays,
- Melissa S.
