[b]The prequal the Australasian Polo Championships in Brisbane is here!
RVRCTYFXD & Le Pista Resistance presents,[/b]
THROW UP! The Tournament…
Where: West End, Brisbane, Queensland!
When: May 29th & 30th 2010.
Rules:TBC. In short, the tournament runs very differently to normal. All mallets are lined up. 6 are picked out and thrown up! Every plays the same amount of games and tally’s are kept of wins/losses/for/against for each game. Everyone is then ranked. Top 12 are then thrown up and play semi’s. Semi’s determine finals. Pretty much your individual talent is on the line.
Prizes will be handed out for winners/losers and most valuable player on court/scorecards. Beers will be drank, stories will be told and good times will be had. Please let us know if your interested or not. You don’t need to be in teams to come. Just you and your mallet is required and we’ll do the rest. We can arrange beds for interstaters!
wow i knew you would find a way to make polo an indervidual sport gyp? but you have really out done yourself with this one. haha fuckin love this idea. cound me in.
also im keen to throw a couple of hat’s and shirt’s at the cause. (gyp ill show you the new design today at work.
also i hhave connections with one of the backpacker’s for anyone comming from interstate that doesn’t want cauch hoppin. good rate’s and not far from city,
I reckon it’s a good idea, it eliminates the chances of having one or two really good teams that dominate the whole day, which can get a bit boring. It will be awesome to see the rivalries on the day, one game you’re going head to head with you’re nemesis, next game you are playing with them on the same team. It will be a rocking tournament, pity it’s so long away though…
Hey Gypsy, I have created you and Dan an account on bikepolo.com.au, (let me know if you want me to reset your password you can post the invite there, and the nationals info when you get it together too)
usually? Whilst I like the idea of annual tournaments, it’s not usual… yet.
Of course we shouldn’t clash with the roubaix either. But anytime nearby in “autumn” should be fine. (don’t go shifting the Australia day tourney though that’d be… un australian.
good to see Adelaide hosting their first tourney this weekend too, though It’d be interesting to see how the ‘scorer must sub off’ rule affects the game play.
