Mail from Hungary

Dear Ben,
First of all, again I wish You a happy new year.
Secondly, I checked the video at Your website and it looks cool (I mean the center shot clock). It is really 21st century look! Thank you!

How were the reactions from the local participants and the spectators?
Till up now: Positive. Now we hope that KNKV and IKF show interest so that we can make steps forwards.

And, I have some questions regarding Your bear-tiger system. What in Your opinion is the ranking of the 4 roles (based on the importance of the roles for scoring)? Which one is the most important?
When I make a line up I start with a Tiger. After that I am looking for a Bear and a Wolf. The last player for the section to select, is the Panther. But there should be harmony and synergy in the group. The players need eachother in their different roles. So you need the (role) supplements to settle a total for all the functions of the section.

and which one is the least important?

In other words, if You had to chose only 1 position of the 4 attacking roles, which one You think is the most imporant?
If You have average players, and You could chose only 1, which one would You chose?
My choice is the player who fits in the group. The mental aspect is hereby very important.
I am very curious about Your opinion.
Also, do You think there are special combinations in the roles?
Finally, can You name some of the best Tigers, Bears, Panthers and Wolfs internationally?
Tiger: Michiel Gerritsen; Tim Bakker; Jos Roseboom; Bart Cleijman; Gerald van Dijk; Suzanne Struik; Mitch Lenaerts; Nick Janssens; Andre Kuipers;
Panther: Suzanne Struik; Roxanna Detering; Gerald van Dijk; Kim Cocu; Mady Tims; Annick Dekeyser; Davor Duronjic
Wolf: Suzanne Struik; Kim Cocu; Mirjam Maltha; Jet Brandsma; Mady Tims; Patty Peeters; Veronique Biot;
Bear: Leon Simons; Rick Voorneveld; Andre Kuipers; Davor Duronic; Jeffrey Campers; Mirjam Maltha
That is it for now, and I am very curious about Your answer!
All the best from cold Hungary,
Bandor
