A no-dabber, as it were. Nice.
Yeah, my original post looks like I'm only wondering about "losses." Not so. I swear I've been in, you know, a couple of winning 5-0s.
5-0'ed. Skunked. Blanked....
Are there regional differences to what people call a 5-0 game? What do YOU call it? Lord knows I've been in enough of them but as far as I know it's just being skunked.
Time to practice?
Seriously though, we've always called them shut-outs.

Machine drives a mean 5-0
in columbia the house rules are "no skunk without a bottom bracket." you are not allowed to skunk an opponent without the final goal being a BB shot.
off topic, but i managed to answer the question.
Columbia, MO
Wheelie shots or impressive sweeping-behind-the-back-while-falling-off-your-bike-Ben-Hunter-style shots also accepted.

Now that's what I'm talking about. Good rule.
Once had a game where we only counted no-stop strikes off a pass. The receiving team didn't know it and they enjoyed the lesson. Good Skeet, Skeet Good.
BRINGING THE RUCKUS
enerson you get skunked so bad that you should be living with the skunks
Time for a new game.
Only 'rule' we have is "Pants" which has only been enforced once (at the Messenger Nationals)
It usually leads to comments about 'keeping your pants on' at something like 4-1
I think it's from Pub Pool/Billiards rules if you lose without potting anything, then you have to drop your pants and run around the table. (is this just an Australian thing?)

the guy on the left has nice thighs. real cyclist, and you know what that means. overall the guy on the right is the best looking. if only he had the guts to drop his pants to the ankles. honestly though, thats a hard trait to find in a guy.
whats up with the champion strips on the long haired ragamuffin? are those cum stains on his underwear? you know your supposed to wash you briefs after a wet dream, right?
Swaffled!
Everything in seattle is swaffle though.

Hungry?
i know this is a stupid comment, but ive wanted to say it like ten times today
woot woot, thats the sound of the beast.
5-0? In italy, it's a Cappotto!...that means 'Coat'
So you you can do a lot of jokes about the cold that opponents feel...
brr ... it's cold! you deserve a Cappotto!
Up in Ottawa when the score has just been made 4-0 it's called Pride Point. You have no pride if you don't at least get one.
We've considered ending games at 4-0 if there's folk waiting to play. Slaughter rule.

St Louis Bike Polo 2008-fun
no way. play it out. you never know whats going to happen.
yeah, x2 no way on 4-0.
I wish we played long enough to enact "Ten-Runned," though.
5.0'ed and donuts all sounds like being behind the 5th wheel of my Killing Machine '-""-,/ MACHINE
The first tournament I played in...Tour De Polo 1 (Seattle) my team lost every game is the round robbin and five of six games 5 - NOTHING. Granted we played all the best teams, it hurt and taught us a thing or two. The next year East Vancouver was very competitive thanks to a winter of hard polo action in winter 2007 - 2008. That winter I would say "5 - nothing, 5 - nothing, 5 - nothing" to my teammates at the start of every game against a competitive opposing team. Rarely happened but it gave us an objective for every game. Now I find 5 - 0 games boring but it is good to loose a few like that as a newbie.
When Joker and i are in the same team and up 3-0 i'll tell him.. 'Hey Booe i think we having DOnuts".. Donuts is the word out here in Los..
i always referred to a 5-0 with no team member having to tap out a perfect game
YIP!
