The Midnight Madness in Darmstadt was the first world cup in Hessen and started with very nice 101 participants and many special offers besides the table. Additionally the SV Darmstadt 98 declared the opening of an Headis department in the club.

The quarter finals in the overview:

RHCH missing Pepper – Klausi

Schmoffkopf – Headinho
Headité – FuWaTe

Headsinfarkt – Flying Dutchman
Headbrötchen mit Zwiebeln – Heineken
Lauchgesicht – Nosebraker

You see a lot of established players but a few new comers too. For example FuTaWe surprising against Haedité but Missing Pepper was one number to big for FuTaWe and the final opponent of Pepper was called Headinho. The first Bembel cup of this evening and and of all time won Pepper in a very clear game. But the fans of the 4^th FuTaWe celebrate their star like a world champion.

On the male side Sniper Schorsch celebrated a big comeback in a nearly lost game against Lauchgesicht and entered the final against Headsinfarkt.. Sniper started, watched by the public viewing in Hannover via live stream started, well in the game but Headsinfarkt stroked back in the second set. In the deciding last set Sniper couldn´t come back like in the half final and Headsinfarkt own the match and was the second (first male) winner of the Midnight Madness and proud owner of an 1.5 liter Bembel cup. The both winners got additionally a new pair of Kangaroos shoes.

Finally we have to say we are hungry of more Midnight Madness made in Darmstadt!

An industrial area in the north-east of Kaiserslautern. It is cold and rainy. Bit by bit many young and a few older (old) people step down the stairway to the quite legendary “Löfft”, the headquarters in which the important decisions of the world (of Headis) are made. It will be the home of 20 men and 10 women for the weekend of the 17th and 18th of January, 2015. They qualified for the Masters by good tournament achievements in 2014 or received one of the popular Wildcards. In the “Löfft” they find a colorful Headisplatte, improved by spray artist Carl Kenz, begging to be played on with epic serves, stops and volleys.

The women’s finale develops clear, as “HB junger T” uses her experiences and triumphs after a tactically clever match against “Headité”, who delivers a great overall performance herself and who will certainly play a role in the coming world cup circus.

The men’s finale promises a great struggle: the pressure on both players is huge, Sniper could not celebrate a tournament victory since his success in Munich in 2014 and for Nosebraker it is only the second participation in a final. The urge to win glows on Sniper’s face, his stops come concentrated and his high risk plays pay off. Nosebraker braces himself against it, however, cannot prevent the loss of a set. After the side change Sniper turns up even more and offers the spectators a “Rampishow” par excellence. At last Sniper wins a match ball and therewith the victory is celebrated by the crowd. Then about half an hour later he stretches the “cup” formed by Carl Kenz to the storeroom’s roof.
