BB5 Episode 3: Fraser Posford on EQC 2024
Editor’s note: in the recording, Mary says that EQC is March 15-16. This is incorrect. It’s March 16-17. Also, regarding 3 max, only teams in D1 are required to play that. Teams in D2 were allowed to apply for a waiver; 5 teams in D2 elected not to and will be playing 3 max the entire tournament.
European Quadball Cup 2024 takes place this weekend in Salou, Catalonia. This is Europe’s top club event. For the first time, both divisions (D1 and D2) are competing the same weekend. 32 teams are in D1, fighting for the title of Champion of Europe. 24 teams are in D2. Player, coach, and podcaster Fraser Posford of Total Quadball Podcast joins BB5 for a primer on EQC for US fans.
