st. louis, missouri
NAHBPC 2012
It'll never happen, but, oh god yes.
i second stl, but put on by comopolo instead.
I recall Ben saying on the float trip that logistically STL couldn't do it.
But it would be nice.
they have told us several times that if we set it up they'll be there haha
I'd like to see it somewhere as central as possible as to please east and west coasters
do it mke.
Back to the midwest!? Hmm, okay.
Do it Milwaukee, do it!
Your central location in the country, proximity to major airports, inexpensive cost of visiting and event running experience make Milwaukee an ideal location...
But make sure to have scoreboards this time.
yeah i was disappointed on the scoreboard issue as well. were there any issues on teams not know the score though or the wrong score being reported?
it would obviously be fixed for a major like NAHBPC.

Central location = somewhere close to Chicago (for coastal dwellers this includes all cities between Cleveland and Denver).
Major airports = ORD and only a 90 minute drive from there.
Inexpensive cost of visiting = big back yards and cool neighbors.
...event running = beer without 10% sales tax.
In all seriousness I am very excited at the idea of MKE hosting. I love the city and none will question their capability. Just no parking garage knife fights.
expect our bid by December.
Hello everyone in the poloverse.

thank you.

MKE has the outline for their bid and should be returning it shortly.
If you are intending to bid please advise by the end of today. I will then give you the same outline they received and wait.
Thanks.
that's kind of a bummer that only one city wants to host the NA's.
Why?
Hosting tourneys is a ton of effort with no pay.
And that doesn't strike you as a bummer? He didn't say it was surprising... he said it sucks that there isn't more desire to host tournaments.
I would love to be part of organizing a tournament, but I know city isn't equipped for such a tournament at this time. I'm sure other cities feel the same

AZ considered putting in a bid. We'd see too many of polo's finest fail to finish the tourney thanks to the 110 degree temps.
Midwests and NA's?
Those courts are pretty awesome...
