With participants from communities from Kiel to Munich, Roundnet enthusiasts from all over Germany came to Kassel. International competitors also traveled to the Documenta city and participated in the tournament. This included teams from Canada and Taiwan. Due to the internationality of the tournament, the German national players who participated in the Summer Clash already got a taste of the World Championship, which will take place the following weekend (08. - 11.09.2022) in Belgium.

Two divisions were played: Advanced/Pro (32 teams) and Intermediate (27 teams). In the group phase 8 and 7 teams per group met each other. The knockout phase started with an eighths final. Thus, the winners* had to prevail in all four consecutive matches. The Intermediate Division was won by a team from Hildesheim, consisting of Jessica Simonides and Moritz Dubiel. In the final of the Advanced/Pro Division a team from Munich/Koblenz and a team from Darmstadt/Regensburg faced each other. In an exciting match over 3 sets, Ivo Heinen and Klara Bauer decided the match in their favor and won the Summer Clash 2022 in the Advanced/Pro Division.

Especially due to the commitment of the many helpers of the Roundnet Raccoons Kassel, this weekend showed how a nice tournament is organized. From the organization, to the catering, to the subsequent afterparty, everything went smoothly and with great attention to detail. To start the game already awake in the early morning hours, the participants could drink free coffee or drinks sponsored by Red Bull. For lunch, participants were allowed to put together their own vegetarian or vegan wraps.

We are looking forward to the next Roundnet tournament in Kassel and would like to thank all the helpers and the General University Sports of the University of Kassel.
