We are not far! You come here, then we go there. Since they are in our own cities it's as if we just traveled for one tournament : )
Sound logic for those whose universe consists of Sacramento and LA.
One thing to consider is an elimination tourneys of 4 or 8 teams are evenly balanced and easiest to manage. Fair random seeds are possible. With 3 or 5 or 6 or 7 or 9 (etc...) teams, there needs to be some type of seeding before you get to the final four. In other words, it's unbalanced and requires a little creativity.
Speaking for myself, I'm not leaving SF in September and making no commitments until October 1. First child expected around Labor Day. I'm really hoping I can do some of the fall tourneys as a loose cannon or whatever.
Awesome to see so many events! More polo is better polo. It may take a while before we have anything like a regular statewide series. Until then, Marco!
not to mention the 6+ hour drive aaaaaannnndddd it starts on friday at 5pm?
oh nvm, pick up starts at 5.... one day tourny? Meh..

Damn those Random Bastard Polo Children!!!
Capitol Bike Polo thank you for raising the bar for the new Bench Minor format in California. We were honoured and delighted to participate in the first Battle for California alongside y'all.
Gr8 to see so many new faces on the scene and the quality of play of the 1 to 2 year veterans improving in leaps and bounds.
Having 6 teams show up for such an immense time is in itself priceless. Ya all know that next year there will be 10 or more.
Thanks to Fresno , Davis ,Vegas , Vicellia , Sf, Santa Cruz , Sac , Oaktown etc for a fantastic weekend. Lets do it again sooner.
Luv y'all . AnD thanx RBPC.
