Dates have been changed to Oct 6-7.
See you there.
Can you change the poster??!
Thank you Portland, really appreciate you accommodating the date change.
xo
I've never been so excited! Who wants to team up??
I think we have this team covered at this point. Count it.
you should consider playing with some of the cascadians if you're gonna come that far out, doesn't make sense to play with your homies since you already do that on a daily basis. just saying.
hey ladies!
More fun in 2012! More cartwheels and pizza and fun!
single male looking for a squad.
HOT BOILED PEANUTS!
COUNT IT!!!!
I think Chris and I might make it out to this. Does anyone want to be our third?!
I'll be your 3rd wheel if you're into that sort of thing
I haven't quite talked to Chris about it, but I'll let you know for sure soon.
I'll be there. xo
i wanna play in this for sure. mo here, single gal who likes to have fun. i've found my competitive edge this year; i'm not afraid of [giving or receiving] speed or physical contact and the well-intended cuddle, i work well with teammates and i'll champion us off the court and on the dance floor as well! somebody, holler!
Hi Bellingham Will want to get a third and be a bellcouver team?
Looking for a pair to make this polonage trois go down! Who's with it
Myself and Chandel may be looking for a third for this. Please let us know if any interest, thanks!
oh my gawww so many free agents I wanna add my name to the free agents list and wait until the LAST POSSIBLE MOMENT TO GET A TEAM so please don't consider adding me to your team until we are at the polo courts day of the tournament thanks.
also I'm probably one of the illest players with the most wicked passes. By selecting me, you can expect I'll pass the ball and you two be able to sneak around your defenders as they stare in comatose haze. And as you glide in to a kiss, you'll be able to both one time the the ball and swoop out from the goal and the ball lands in the goal with a romantic fire that the other team will become engulfed in a jealous rage that will surely drive each other apart shortly after playing us.
or I can just sit goal. your choice. .
I super think that i can make it to this! Im in need of a west coast trip anyway... will probably do it like last year and fly into seattle. stoked... flights in/out of mpls are way cheaper than mke. keep me in your hopes and dreams!
single lady in need of a team for this fo sho.
whelp, ATX has decided to host our Texas League tournament this weekend so I am unable to attend afterall. I swear, some day, some time, i will make it back to PDX. have a great one ya'll!
You should move this back a month so I can attend :-)
team Polo Parents representin'
Anchorage is in the works of sending a team down. If not a full team, then at least 2 players that could get picked up.
So stoked for this! I love you Portland!
Is this gonna be bench style, or can we have 1 alternate player?
Anyone looking for a solo lady to be their 3rd? I'm relocating to Sacramento from Lexington the week before this tourny and am STOKED to play... it'll be my first west coast tourn and 5th tourn this year. I can promise ridiculousness, epic shotgunning, a giant grin on my face the whole time and occasional impressive one-hitters :D
Cheers,
Jamelyn
Someone pick this girl up! Btw, she can piggyback 3 people!!!
Aaahaha awesome. Meg, thanks for the vouch :D
Pick up Schmangdon and ScootsMcGootsMcGillaCutty!
Are you two in need of a third? Our girl bailed and my other teammate is on the fence.
Email: mark.desil24@gmail.com I'm coming up form Eugene.
Anchorage needs a girl.
Tickets purchased. I miss you Portland!
Free agent third wheel. Looking for a team.
Hey folks, register your teams!
http://hardcourtbikepolo.org/polo/main/tournament/77.html
Or sign up as a single under "Request Team" and make a match
Flights booked. Anchorage is coming.
looking to go to this...which means i'm also looking for a team
team POLO PARENTS is registered. Yo ,,,, where can I park my vanagon???
who's still looking? I'm thinking I may just come down to be a permanent ref and get some cascadia reffing experience.
Is there a list of people signed up for this?
Anyone still looking for a lady? the folks in San Francisco are being lame suckfests. I'm a lefty who kicks ass and also takes names.
Holla.
Did you get my email? I highly recommend playing with Twinky.
I did! Thanks yo, I'll totally hit him up. You still into doing our ladies army team for the LA tourney?
If you dont know Sam from SF then you dont know brutally ,straight for the jugular, heckling SF style. Cover your kids ears and feel the warm trickle down your neck as your ears bleed.
Bummed that i already have 3 tournies that month so alas cant swing this weekend in the home town of my fave team Portland United dadadada. .
i'm so hoping that the Victoria Winter mixer will be happening in some form or other to cap tournie season 2012 on the west coast.
.
I will be playing with kayla and Shane bit can I get a conformation that other Lexington players are going to make it up?
eli what the fuck happened to you man? u living in Portland? ur bike is still here at the house. is safe.
Well, shoot, I guess I need a team for this.
FUN POLO!!!!!
** UPDATE **
Location Change! We're playing at our beloved Albert Park now, and it'll be amazing.
Also, anyone in need of housing can contact me through here through LOBP, or via FB, or Smoke Signals
It'd be swell if you'd register your team here: http://hardcourtbikepolo.org/polo/main/tournament/77.html
Isn't Alberta only one court? Or am I mis-remembering?
just can;t wait. Holy name takers and ass kickers...cant wait to meet some new faces in polo. Alberta, home of the "cage matches" little Beirut polo.
Can't wait to get our asses kicked by some of the best polo players around! And to drink lots o' polo juice.
Hey folks- anyone coming up from Sac/SF (or passing through en route) that would want to carpool up to Portland? I have a pretty open schedule... can leave whenever and don't have to be back until midday Monday...
Hey folks, so I'm sort of tied up with school and not working enough to have many travel dollars right now, which makes me a little sad because I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY UGGGHH REALLY REALLY want to be in PDX for this one! ....there's still a chance...but it's leaning towards "no" because I have a commitment to not fuck up at school, now that I'm a student again...
But, I have an inquiry for all the polo folks traveling in cars from North & South and back. My little sis, 18 and adventurous and awesome, though not quite diving into polo, is on a mission to get to Vancouver. She wants to rideshare it. Being that she's 18 years young, my mom and I are both a bit nervous for her to take the trip. My question for ya'll: Are there folks going UP to PDX from SF/Norcal via car who could take her along (no bike) and are there folks leaving PDX going NORTH to Seattle/Olympia/Vancouver who could help her get farther north? She has money for gas, and is smart, sweet and awesome. I wanna help her on her journey, but we'd all feel much better if she was with friends/polo family for parts of the way. Send me an email (passionforwords @ gmail . com) if you think you might have a spot for her in a vehicle. She doesn't need a babysitter, just a ride. :)
So our lady friend backed out so we our looking for any available girls to play with us. Anyone able to help? If so just send me an email emagdnimroller@gmail.com
So excited about this tournament! It can't come soon enough....looking forward to meeting all you west coast polo players.

Photo looks like Arlyn. Is this a victory ceremony from last year?
Has anyone noticed that anchorage is flying down for this tourney and still needs a lady. If this is true someone please help them!!!!!

Hmm... ok. I understand park complications, but can you guys realistically hold a tournament on one court? I don't know how many teams you're expecting, but I think about 6 are coming out of Seattle. What kind of structure, and Swiss Rounds will you be able to hold?
EDIT: To be perfectly clear, I just found out there are a ton of breweries around that area, and I'm trying to strategize my drinking.
Portland, What time does the tourney start at Alberta on Saturday.
So I just got back from looking at potential sights for our Saturday post-polo party.
I talked to Eric, the owner of The Allleyway Bar on Alberta and he is really excited to have
us. There willi be a DJ playing TRL, Roller Rink, Awesome type music. No Cover.
$5 Tall boy and a shot specials for us. Alley drag racing next to the bar. If you have not been
To this spot the food is hot and plentiful and won't break the bank. Plenty of bike parking in front.
Anytime after 9 is good. Just let the door guy know you are with Bike Polo to get on the inside.
2415 NE Albert Street if you didn't already know.
More Details...
Friday: Registration Gathering
9PM at Vendetta (4306 N Williams Ave)

Get well soon Jill!!!
Second that!
Thanks for coming, y'alls. Fun tournaments are fun.
Awesome tournament. Thanks Portland!
any videos?
Hey Portland!
I think this is a great idea, but I'd like to make a suggestion that might make for a higher turn out at both of your proposed tournaments.
I propose you move this to the weekend of your "new format" (give me a break by the way, this name is so lame - yes, I know the history) tournament and run a one day co-ed and one day bench minor.
This particular weekend is going to be difficult for people in Cascadia to travel to, especially women as there is Polo Retreat (April 6-8 on Gabriola Island, BC) and Ladies Army (April 27-29 in Lexington, KY). That's a lot of traveling in one month.
We'd really like to support you, because we love playing with you folks, but I'd like to suggest you consider combining these two tournaments. Could make things easier for organizing on your end too!
