Don't mean to be a killjoy, but the Australia and NZ region also use "AHBPC" for its championships.

Court size:
44*20 AFRICAN HARDCOURT BIKE POLO CHAMPIONSHIP
2nd Self-managed ZARAGOZA tournament
DATE: 29-30 September
WHERE: CAGE-COURT in TORRERAMONA PARK
PRICE: $ 0
AWARDS: MANY FRIENDS
FORMAT:
The AHBPC is going to be a tournament without fixed teams, each player is targeted individually, on Friday evening will be a draw in which there will be 3 players drums with 3 types divided according to their level or tournaments played, the players sharing in each of the drums will be made by a committee of "wise men", and that only the wise people of Zaragoza know who they are. Thus, each team will have a good player, intermediate, and beginner, generating equality among all teams (or at least I intend).
The tournament will have 20 teams (60 players), each team will play at least 8 games (5 goals or 10 minutes), will not be Swiss rounds or groups. The format will be circular, as they are formed teams, these will form a circle in the sense of clockwise so each team will play four games against teams that have left and 4 games against teams that have the right of the circle (eg team 1 will play against teams 2, 3, 4, 5, 20, 19, 18 and 17). The bracket on sunday will be single or double elimination, we wil decide it on saturday night-sunday morning.

the name its only a joke, don't take it seriously...
make it ANZHBPC
The A actually stands for Australasian which is (an often misinterpreted) term they refers to Australia, New Zealand and sometimes New Guinea and Indonesia. "ANZHBP" would be redundant.
SSSARAGOOSSSSAAAA YO VOYYY
BEST OPEN EVER!
MEANWHILE IN ZARAGOZA: BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERS
Whoa.
Now, bike polo has a long tradition of people re-inventing the game and declaring themselves the World Organizing Organization. But this is the first time I've seen someone from one country declare the championships of another continent.
Inspired by Jamaican Bobsledding?
The philosoraptor has a tasty one.
