June 21/22, SoYo Polo have been invited back to Cliffhanger. Not sure what the format's likely to be yet, but pencil it in to your diaries...

It's a big outdoor pursuits festival.

Hopefully we'll have two courts, run some sort of tourney, and have some try out sessions for members of the public.

I'm not even going to start on the beer, relaxed street drinking, culture and reliable public transport....

I think Cambridge is the weekend before or after, good news is Tum might be able to make his own Tumnament now.

Interesting format, don't think the format would ever work in the UK, but it might be interesting to see if something like the Euro Bench could be run this way http://www.nahardcourt.com/nah-club-bench-championship/

I think it could work in a similar way to Farnborough, with a few spots for London, still based on geography rather than ability or there would be a couple of run away winners.

I meant the qualifying aspect wouldn't really work, you'd need a national series or to run some qualifiers for different regions to get more accurate rankings.

Even then we don't really have enough clubs in the UK to make the ranking necessary... what are the chances of getting 12 different scenes (or even 4x 'compass' London teams and 8 not-London scenes) together for a bench tournament in the UK. There's only 14 scenes represented at the champs (including Newmarket, Cornwall, Hebden, Dublin...)

For comparison, NA has about 200 clubs/1000 competitive players in NA series....

Maybe there needs to be an open organised, 1 month registration open and then organise a tourny based around all the entrys more of a one off 3-4 dayer to collate scene data and have loads of fun...

Sorry, I thought you meant tournament, qualification would be unnecessary.

Brussels look like they've got a good set up: http://antwerpbikepolo.be/new-polo-court-bxl/

Will keep an eye out for any tournaments coming up there.

The Euro's are moving! https://leagueofbikepolo.com/forum/tournaments/2013/11/05/ehbpc-2014#com...

Sounds like much better options for courts and not a problem if anyone has already booked flights by the looks of things.
