Email Kiersten your Teammates and Team names to Register
Since this is a combined event with Messquerade Scavenger Hunt and Part we have a few different Registration options:
$40 gets you the Tournament, Scavenger Hunt, Party, and a Hoodie Sweatshirt
$30 gets you the Tournament, Scavenger Hunt, and Party
$20 gets you the Tournament and the Party
$15 gets you the Tournament only.
(By paying for the Party with the Tournament you save $5 on tournament registration)
The night was dark, the weather dreary, the bikes were out the players weary...
Okay, so that rhyme was lame but this tournament won't be! Come celebrate Messman's tenth Messquerade with a two day double elimination polo tournament in beautiful Seattle, Washington. Arrivals on Friday will be able to play pickup with the 206 Crew whilst the barbecue roars and the beer flows. Housing needs will be taken care of, whether that means beds, couches, floors or tents, you will have a free place to stay within riding distance of everything! Saturday will be daytime seeding and Saturday night will be the notorious...Messquerade!! That's right, a polo tournament with a kick ass party built in. Be warned though, just because you're up until the sun rises doesn't mean anyone will go easy on you come Sunday.
Kiersten is handling HOUSING and REGISTRATION. Please contact me directly to get yourselves set up. Housing is already in the works. I'll let you know when your spot has been set up.
Location
Judkins Park
22nd ave s & s judkins st
Seattle, WA United States

Are there any couches left?
there may not be a couch, but there is a nice floor for you and if you don't have a sleeping pad, i'm sure they're fairly inexpensive used!
i mean, we could probably wrangle a pad and bag if you need but there will be a space for you indoors near a flush toilet and someone will most likely befriend you and make sure you're taken care of.
this is our tripple crown tourney kakaw!!!
So, uh, free agent time?
people.... people..... this tournament is going to be an amazing time. come if at all possible! besides a really fun weekend of polo, the messquerade is an awesome time and an even more fun party afterwards
housing dibs for three? and some of whatever seabass is smoking in the corner there.
Count 2 from Kelowna, BC
Hi do you guys have names? And do you have a car while you are down here? I'm trying to coordinate housing for you.
sorry Valley. in order for you guys to get housing EVERYONE from victoria has to come. keep us posted.
luke and i are looking for a third.
Kenny, Cole and I are in.

lefty bullshit for hire...message me if you're looking for a third.
cat power! i hope there's prizes for costumes. winning is overrated
Awesome poster. I 100% approve of the stratigraphy depicted.
confirmative, very realistic. i can imagine the undead emerging out of the earth properly now, i could never really visualise it before.
Now...to find a cloning machine so I can be here and ATX...

i am also in need of a team if anyone wants to play together....
two olympians looking for a third. we pretty b class. i'm left handed, garret's right, we both like to rotate positions throughout a game. i like lots of passing and taking shots when there's a clear lane. if you're interested let me know.

Its official. Pullman will be attending. Me and dom are coming out to play with mat. We've got housing if you're full up but its up in shoreline, not riding distance at all.
Prepare for Team SMURFHAMMER!!!!!!!!
hey y'all who's got a single spot to fill on their team? I just was able to get off work.
here's my self analysis to "sell" myself:
4 years playing
i'd rate myself an upper level B player
fast, nimble, very good bike handling
decent ball handling
good close/techy shots
blah long shots
good d
decent goalie
let me know so I can decide whether I need to plan for bringing up to polobike too! see yallz at the messquarade!
I'm coming through if any one still needs a third.
boooo!!
for those of you checking this before you head down here...shoot me a text or email with your plans. i'll be central contact/coodinator and will vector you to the places you need to be...
Naomi and Cara and I are driving down tomorrow, hoping to arrive by 2ish. Should we just go straight to the mansion? Or is there a different place we should head to?
Ok guys, this is what I've got so far, everything is still subject to change but I think this is pretty close to what will happen.
Each group will play 4 rounds of 12 min games Swiss Round style. If things are going well we might get a 5th round in. Please be ready for your games since we don't have lights and it will be too dark to play by 5:30pm!! Any team not ready to play on time will forfeit their game! I'm serious about our tight schedule.
The Messquerade registration starts at 6pm at Collanade, and the race starts at 8pm. If we stay on schedule we all have plenty of time to change into costumes and party a bit before the race.
I've built the groups on first come first serve basis, with some adjustments for skill dispersal and to make sure cities aren't playing themselves. I made up some team names for people who don't have them yet (blame the cough syrup). Those can be changed easily if you come up with something.
