The wind was blowing through the big Intergalactic space Arena. Where the the anual space race whas about to begin. It was the 32th edition and it was going to be another spectacular race. A race of honour, a race of valour, a race of pride!
The ISA was packed with fans, this was THE event of the year and everyone had been looking forward to this for months. It was a great atmosphere; Lots of octarine pipes were passed around and almost everyone was holding a large mug of hubble. A drink that not only looked, but also tasted like some kind of spacecraftengine-oil. But "hey, alcohol is alcohol" they'd say...
The crowd jumped up and started cheering as the first teams entered the Arena. There they were: the 35 proud teams who qualified for this years race. The leaders walked in front, holding large magenta banners with an unique logo in the middle. Closeley followed by their Captains. Every team was allowed twelve Captains, which one of them would be the leader.
The entrance of the teams always was a big show as each team took time to show their selected theme. It was a known custom that each team would pick a theme. Each Captain would take a nickname and the whole fleet would be adjusted to the theme. It was always a blast to see as the teams came up with the most silly and funny themes.
After all the teams had entered, they were properly introduced by the commentators. This was the third race in the current cycle. Which meant that this was the last race before all teams had to be voided and new teams had to be formed. This also meant that most of the teams were pretty much the same as the last two races, however a lot of transfers had been made during the break. The stronger teams stayed more or less the same, but a lot of the weaker teams got reinforcements.
A large cheer arroused fromt the audiance as the Captains from team #803 were announced. They had won the second race in the cycle and they gathered a lot of fans by doing so. It being the third and final race had caused for a massive competition amongst the viewers. Lots of advertisement, lots of betting and also a lots of fights between certain groups of fans.
The commentators finished the introduction and after a short repeating of the rules it was getting time to begin. 35 teams ready to win this race were standing in the ISA. Ready to win or what might seem harsh, die trying...
