Hey, just wondering if anybody is interested in hitting the Thunderdome for morning practice/pickup games.

Let's do this!

The Chicago NACCC Polo Tournament is upon us. In cooporation with the Chicago NACCC, Chicago Bike Polo is throwing a tournament. Registration for the event is $30.00 per person, $90.00 for a team. More...

It is not completed yet, but very soon we will have housing info, court dimensions, and the full schedule for the weekend. Just so you know, Friday night we are planning a two-on-two, winner-stays-on, friendly tournament and Monday we are planning on breakfast and a league/rules forum. Get off those other two days so we can hang out a bit more.

Here is a great photo of friendlies with milwaukee last weekend. It is pretty awesome to have a city that is about an hour away to play polo with and i think that because of them all our skill gets better. Their is no other teams i cheer harder for at tournaments or want to beat more when i play against them. Here is too milwaukee.

i am interested setting up a polo league between milwaukee and madison and chicago.

each city would travel once a month and host once a month, or we could all go to milwaukee once a month and make them host. there is a thread on the bikepolo.ca site talking about the leauge and confrences bull shit what not

but lets hear some thoughts on teams possibilities.

game style i like the oldschool 3 games to 3 . it would have to be a little organized but i figure we could have some good teams players interested i can imagine

There's a new website in pololand.

www.bikepolo.ca

you can go ahead and make an account, post to the forums, join the various clubs, that have their own individual pages, post your bike, trash-talk, etc.

www.madbikepolo.org has kinda served as the midwest hub but i think it's time that it goes back to a madbikepolo blog. discussion of midwest tourneys can take place on the new site.

I can only laugh

So, between hardcourtbikepolo.com and madbikepol.org we have had a lot of discussions about how the sport needs to move forward. It seems that things will change at a tournament level and that at a daily level bike polo will stay the same. It seems a lot is being made of our final game in T.O. between Doug and the Darlrymple's, the fact is that even though things were intense and broke down, we still played it out and as i move on from it less and less of it bothers me. I view all them favorably and i consider Doug a good friend and even though i took a nice elbow to the face from Paul, he is one of the most respectable folks i have ever seen on the court.
