ESPI 5 + THE LADIES ARMY II

shit yes!

just booked my flight! see you all there!
and i need a team for the ESPI... anyone down?

I'm coming out and I need a team for ESPI. I'm a sometimes B player that turns into a C player when I get sloppy. I'm pretty good at mixing it up against the boards and don't shy away from contact. I'm good at cutting off people's angles and have a decently hard shot when I'm in the groove. I've only played in the Midwest so if you need personal referrals ask someone form the Midwest.

oh, also needs an ESPI team. I bring virtually nothing to the table but Four Lokos...

Would love to see more euros ladies there.... i put it out to the london massive

I need a team and a place to sleep! and maybe a ride back to atlanta if anyone is driving south?

dude, jason you are a free agent? why not you me and jerry? keep it in portland.

i am humbly encouraging all womens teams that are playing in the ladies army to compete with your same team in the espi... ok there i said it. take it for what you will. girl teams kick ass! not to say that all men teams dont't

no one! NO ONE ! loves womens polo more than me...

I will hopefully be bringing a team of ladies from Denver! Cha cha chyaaa!

Alright ladies, last ditch effort. I've had a number of team-mates fall through on me and people figuring I am not headed to this tournament, but I am still holding out for a team.

This tournament is my baby (for those who don't know), and I'd like to contend, so if you've been sitting on the fence for this one, or if you had that job that you weren't sure was gonna let you take the day off, but now you can, or if you suddently found $500 in your couch and can now afford the airfare... If you've got some hot skills and some fire you wanna burn out on the court, send me a message.

lisa and meg, I am looking too. Lisa had desired to play with ladies from different cities, but i am sure see will play with me, so that we could have a team of three! If there are more spare ladies out there speak up! Lisa, lora emailed me..she is definately out.

My teams fell through.. and I never checked this thread... thanks for putting my name out there though ladies. Sooooo I still need a team. I like to play hard and fast.. I can hustle. Not afraid to get aggressive.. in fact I enjoy it. Got a decent shot and am a good TEAM player. I love to play polo very much. get in touch if you needs a team. I also need a team for espi.

GP who are you?
we might need a strong third still....

In terms of East Van ladies coming out, Gena will already be living in NYC, Lisa is coming, but will not be staying long in NYC, Cara. Polly, Naomi and Shannon will be staying on after the tourney for a little NYC holiday. We all have teams for the Ladies tourney, but I think it is safe to stay we have not decided whatto do for the ESPI's. We'll figure that out later.... can't wait!

Victoria will be sending a ladies team (I think we'll be playing together for both days but that hasn't been decided yet)!!! Do we need to register our team with anyone?

Since Baltimore's polo future and growth are looking rather dismal- would anyone like to have a team with me? I'll take anybody on my team! Either way I want to come to this.

I thought ryan was playing with quinn and birdie? this is what i heard last...

and....they are quickly sorting out registration.
last i saw, for ladies, if you're only playing the ladies army it is $10 per person or $30 for the team. if you are playing both ladies and espi's then it is $20 per person.
this allows your team to break up if some of the ladies don't do espi also. the online registration info to come!

can't wait!!!

Hey ..great to see all this coordinating for ladies army! sounds like the stakes will be high!

any updates on reg or details for ESPI5? that we all should be aware about?

Gena (east van) and I are looking for a third for the ESPI(preferably male).

I'm seeking teammates for Ladie's Army & ESPI. Same team? Two teams? I'm up for either.
I'm a solid defensive player and a medium forward. I never give in. I'm fearless. I started on a freewheel, played fixed for a year and a half, and have gone back to freewheel now. I love working together with a team to make the magic happen. Email me if you're interested in playing with me.

Yes Polly, Shelley and I are definitely down for a Canucks ladies team!

I think my registration went through. confirm or deny?

looking for a team. i'll be up there regardless. holler.

Quinn and I are still looking for a third for ESPI.. Any guys out there wanna hook up with two hard playing ladies??? We are wanting to mix it up and get a boy on our team... ahem.. I mean a Man!

Any updates on Ladies Army registration?
Can you tell we are super stoked to slay??!

LADIES' ARMY REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN

http://nycbikepolo.com/?page_id=399

On a related note, what's the proper use of the apostrophe in "Ladies'"? - Ladie's? Ladies'? Ladies's?

Also, Ladies, if you've already registered your team for ESPI, you ALSO NEED to register your team for Ladies' Army. We know it's a pain to go through the damn process again, but we need you to do that. Thank you.

The French are coming. Well the French MAY come...

Kat (Mpls) and I are looking for a new third for ESPI who wants to play hard and have fun with it!
Any takers?

Housing during the tournament has been requested but... my girlfriend Kat and I will be be coming out a little before and staying after the tournament to make a vacation out of it.

We are arriving Wednesday(23rd) and leaving Tuesday(29th). We'd like to avoid staying at hostels or hotels, cause we can't afford it, but don't expect one person to put us up the entire time we are in Brooklyn.

We'll be out of your hair off exploring the city and are very respectful and low maintenance house guests.

I have a profile on couch surfing if people want to contact us through there.

Anyone who gives a shit can see the tournament format here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0An79vnJNQ88PdENWclpWTElrN2c2dXhq...

and the full schedule for both days, including time-of-day, here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0An79vnJNQ88PdHZDWDhQOTdPSVNoMUZ2...

all the stupid codes (A1,A2,...L3,L4) will be filled in with team names once registration closes. the groups will be filled randomly, since there's no world ranking system in place at the moment. 48 slips of paper with team names will go into a hat, they will be drawn one at a time, and the groups will be filled in sequentially in this fashion: A1, B1, C1,...,A2, B2, C2,...,L2, L3, L4.

good luck assholes. you're going to need it.

Lexington gals are going to bring the heat!

Tried registering my team (Me, Nick, Ian) a couple times but couldnt get the link to work. Is registration closed?

Registration is down for the moment. It got hacked on Friday night and our intrepid registration team got flooded with spam email. We've been working tirelessly over the weekend to restore the process securely. And by that, we mean that "we figured out how to do it saturday morning, but had to go out drinking for a while". Sorry for the complete lack of warning or explanation. We've almost reached the cap of 48 teams. Registration will be back up Monday evening.

Thanks.

HOKAY. Correction. There are 39 teams registered. I had to check & double check the numbers. 39 is accurate as of now. Also, registration is back up. Only 9 slots left!

There are now 41 teams registered. 7 slots left. I'm pretty sure we mentioned it before, but there will be NO ON SITE REGISTRATION. Registration for the tournament closes on FRIDAY, JUNE 18th. So do it now!

45 teams registered. 3 slots left.

I'm stoked for this shit. It's going to be tight. The planning looks awesome, I can't wait.

YES!!! Oleha from Ottawa is looking for an ESPI team.

Here's that map that Doug made. Can't remember where I saw it and bookmarked it from however.

so how are we hearing back about housing? will we just be recieving email confirmation? or figure it out when we get there? i was late to register my teams so i hope theres still some places...otherwise i know of a few cool bridges to sleep under...

We just hit 48 teams! (Thanks Amanda). Registration is now Cloooooosed. NOT SO FOR THE LADIES ARMY. Continue at your leisure.

polo!

Hey ladies: If anyone needs a third, I'm trying to get on a team. Let me know!

well if it matters Greg Valentine and Abraham from chicago will be looking for a third if there is any way for us to get in the tournament. We still don't know if our third that will not be playing with us got around to registering Rum, Sodomy and the Lash

so....I may be last minute coming to this event. Any ladies still need a team member?

Jill! I'm looking for a team too, if you want to join up and find a 3rd lemme know

Also, for outta towners looking for things to do, check out this SWEET public art project! Would make a good bike tour, for sure.
