X2 BETA LAUNCH | SSC V COLDFRONT
X2 has finally arrived. Street Football Australia launched its "beta-test" showdown match between Sydney Street Crew and Coldfront Tekkerz, to test X2's overall viability in the Australian Street Football landscape.
THE MATCH
Coldfront Tekkerz is a new club to the Street Football Australia ecosystem, managed by a core of Canadians, breaking away from the Indoor5's umbrella to showcase their Canadian Street Football flair on their own terms. After placing very well (under Indoor5's) in the April X3 Tournament, Coldfront were invited to test X2 against Australia's strongest Street Football club Sydney Street Crew. Overall it was a tight match, but Sydney Street Crew triumphed 2-1 in the end.
HOW X2 WORKS
X2 takes most of it's rules from X3 (3v3). No stepping into the goal boundaries and small gaols being the main carry-overs. Where it differs is the scoring system. Instead of having a timer and a set end time, X2 has "set" play much like Tennis. Each set is first to 10 goals (you don't need to win by 2 like Tennis), and it's best of 3 sets. So when SSC won 2-1, they won 2 sets to 1.
WILL X2 BE HERE TO STAY?
In the short term X2 will be workshopped to find a system that best works for it. There won't be any ranking system until it's at a place where it feels right. Unlike X3 (3v3) and X1 (1v1), there isn't a globally "standardised" ruleset, so we're building this system out without guardrails, which long term is perfect as it allows Street Football Australia to mold X2 into the perfect format for the Australian scene. So in short; YEs, it's here to stay, and it'll only get better from here.
