perry
yo perry (and anyone else thinking along these lines).... we're going to enforce some kinda eligibility requirements here. yeah they'll be vague, but the part of the point of this event is to get our clubs organized and united, so no ringers, sorry!
A few announcments and changes:
* We're going to up the bench size from 7 to 8.
* Teams can be larger than 8, but you can only have 8 dressed per game.
* Team rosters are due on Thursday March 29th, post them here.
* There's going to be a wicked party on saturday night to fundraise for the crew heading to Ladies Army.
* Teams must have matching jerseys.
class?! shiettt ....
Poster posted. And a schedule, look up top.
One more week to submit your roster. We'll be posting soon about housing, shouldn't be a problem to host everyone.
I might be able to attend this event....I'm not from any of those cities....I love a few of them though....can I pretend? anyone need a free agent?
Toronto is red with black. Ottawa, Montreal? you all have jerseys yet? probably makes sense to get this set straight.
i mentioned this on the call yesterday, our strategy for ESPI 2012 NYC is to instruct each club to bring two colours of their choice. even if two teams choose the same two colours, they just dress opposite for their match against each other and every match is guaranteed not to clash. worst case, get a white shirt for every member of your team if you're forced to deviate from your primary jersey colour and don't have a backup. or play shirts vs. skins.
Team rosters are due this Thursday night!
Oh and Saturday April 7th come party in support of the BPTO crew heading to Ladies Army. 9pm, Bike Pirates
1292 Bloor St West. If you use FB, there's an event page.
This ain't skin polo. Bring 2 colours, mofos!
Representing Mallets Of Mayhem:
Robbie, Angelo, Coach, Alexis, Johnny Crash, Seamus, Brodie, Hayter, Matty, Dana, Albert, Jizza
judging by the online silence, do I understand correctly that Montreal and the 2 Toronto teams are disqualified for not posting rosters. this will be Ottawa vs K-W right?
yeah ill update the schedule. its just going to be KW vs Ottawa, all weekend.
edit: There's a bitter contract dispute between BPTO and a Russian Superleague team that's claiming 2012 rights to one of our players. Once that's settled, we'll announce our roster.

hey apparently Luke was supposed to be on our roster. can we add him?
One addition to our roster, too. Adam Dirks will be on one of the BPTO teams, his player rights have just been acquired from the NYC club. We were going to announce it with one of those jersey-over-the-shirt-and-tie ceremonies but the jerseys are still in the dye bath.
Sorry we're late!

Saturday night
Location is 90% Dufferin Grove, we'll let you know tomorrow.
Meanwhile, there's a new draft NAH ruleset that we're going to be using this weekend. Read it over here: http://leagueofbikepolo.com/forum/rules/2012/04/03/nah-ruleset-v2-draft
This ruleset is just a draft, but it'll also be used at the Midwest bench format thing this weekend, and bench format event in NYC event the weekend after. There's nothing revolutionary in this, but you should read it.
Location is confirmed.
Regarding rules, we're using that ruleset, but with the exception of allowing people to high stick the ball in order to get possession of it, if the ball is in the air.
If you're interested in reffing (with this new ruleset!), lemme know.
Not bad
