alright, ive been really wanting to get out of the woods and into speedball. tournies look fun and i think it would be a cool experience(and good excuse to get off work

). anyways, i want to start a team on my own, prolly a young guns(3 man teams, 16yrs and under) to start off. im turning 16 on aug 7th so do you think it would be better to start an open class team(5 man) that way i wont have to worry about age restrictions limiting who i can get? also, i know the next local tourney will be some time in december or january, do you think 5-6 months of practice would be enough to enter a tourney and not place dead last?
im new to this tournament stuff so any help is appreciate. the tournies are in xball format which i have no clue about because my adobe acrobat thing is gay and doesnt work because the computer sucks. could someone type up the basic rules of what PSP x-ball format is? it would be a great help for me...
