THE LADIES ARMY PRESENTS.... 1st EVER ALL WOMEN'S TOURNAMENT

Submitted by Pitbull on July 10, 2009 - 6:38pm

Friday, September 18, 2009

A one day extravaganza of female polo talent brought to you by the women of East Van and the ladies of Cascadia.

Grandview Park Vancouver, BC
(intersection of Charles St. and Commercial Drive)

Registration is at 10:00 am.

We hit the courts at 11:00am.

No 'polo time'.

OFFICIAL RULES OF THE LADIES ARMY PRESENTS...

1. Shoot with the business end of your mallet - that's the round "end" folks - or else its a "shuffle".

2. Ball joint – pass to another player off a ball joint before your team can score.

3. If your foot hits the ground its called a "dab" and you need to tap out on either side of centre court to engage in play again. Two sided (something loud, high hats)

4. When your team scores, head back to your end and wait for the other team’s first player to cross half before engaging them in play again.

5. Three contact rules that are acceptable:
Bike on Bike
Body on Body
Mallet on Mallet

We don't appreciate contact combinations (i.e. mallet on bike) and you will be called out!! Also, even though bike on bike contact is okay, there are no t-bones! Mallet on mallet is okay but no wind up hacks! Person on person is good but no punches to the face!

6. One etiquette rule:
Play others as they play you (i.e. if a player isn't roughing you up, don't take them out).

7. Passes to your own teammate through the offensive goal can not be scored immediately. The ball must be passed first.

8. All bar ends and mallets must be plugged.

9. No own goals.

10. No mallet throwing.

11. We seriously encourage the use of a helmet.

12. Goals are at cone height.

13. Enjoy!

How about just the Ladies Polo Extravaganza? or the East Van Extravaganza? Good grief, Lisa, that is such a fun word to say. Say it out loud! Extraaavahhhgaaanzaaaa. I like it.
Estrogen Extravaganza? Estrogen is not such a cool word though. pfft.

Polo
lol sorry that is horrible but you know, say it loud, say it proud...

ok, so I want to say thank you to Lisa and all the other East Van ladies who decided to make this happen. I guess a thank you to Mason, too, for bothering people with this idea at every tournament. And of course, thank you to all the ladies who play polo, cos the boys shouldn't have all the fun for themselves. :)

i hate myself, but if you will just excuse my nerdcore polo history moment...

"UH, ladies, I believe Seattle threw 2 separate gender specific turnys (one men and one ladies) back when they hosted the worlds in 2004. GLIVEN!"

anyway, i think that was more of an exibition. i bet yalls will kill it up there! w00t!

Little update for the ladies:
As part of polo weekend in Vancouver, we have arranged for a discount on polo related bike parts for the weekend. Look for discounts on itmes such as tires, tubes, chains and cables!! Special thanks to our dear friends at Bikes on the Drive.

So looking forward to meeting all you wonderful polo women!

oh so still stoked!

any developments? are there going to be prizes? and would they be girly-friendly? (idk what that could mean, but i'm curious and would love to help with any and all ideas). are we coming up with our own teams or making them at the tournement?

also if there are any sponsorships available for travel costs, let's work on that. and not just for me, let's try to get girls from all over out for this.

July 26, 2009 - 10:34pm

#13

Pitbull

East Van Bike Polo

Hey Cait,

Prizes: yes!
Girl friendly: yes!

I am still not 100% on own teams or not even though the feeling around here is teams, but I want to make this as inclusive as possible, so let's hear how people feel about this. I know some people have formed teams and some people singularly traveling from afar might not know enough people to form a team...

I am still open to suggestions.

Sponsorships for travel is a hard to do thing at this point (i.e. would need more time), but I am only sending out the sponsorship package this weekend (after I develop it that is!!).

So far ladies are coming from:
Burlington
Ottawa
Milwaukee
New York City
Seattle
Portland
Victoria
Calgary
Vancouver

I am super stoked too!

Drop me a line and we can talk more specifics about how you can help out. I am completely open to help!

Cheesrs,

hey lil miss... i was thinking we should do teams. since we are planning on hosting this tourney every year, it'll be something the girls will look forward to and plan their teams for. and it makes it more like other "serious" tourneys.

Hey Ladies,

Rachel from Burlington, Vermont here. Got my flights all set and can't wait for this!

As far as coming with teams or making them when we get there, I'm cool either way! I'm definitely coming alone, but if it gets called as a team thing, let's call this my first offer to be your teammate! I've been playing 2 summers, twice a week recently. I'm totally in it and competitive with all the guys I regularly play with, but no clue how I compare to all you other killer polo ladies.

Can't wait to play some awesome polo and meet everyone!

-Rachel

p.s. We've organized our fist ever ladies polo night here in Vermont, and it's going down tomorrow night. Yay!

Update on team play:

Hello Ladies, so I have been asking women what they think of teams versus a throw in tournament, but it appears that many of you have already formed teams, so let's keep with that and if you need a team, we'll be more than happy to hook you up!

I'll post some more details after our planning meeting for who to contact if you need a team, a place to stay, etc.

Ladies!

After some peer pressure from the lovely East Van contingent that's in NYC this week, and considering my complete lack of self-control, and also in light of the crazy airline deals right now, I bought a ticket to come to this.

I'm arriving in Seattle on Thursday night.

One problem, I need a team! I did my darndest to get some other East Coast ladies out there, but no one can make it. Are there any solo ladies who want to team up? Or a duo looking for a third?

jen of the mallets of mayhem taught us all different things. but we all learned that she is The Bat. sonar got her through a 4-2 comeback in the first finals game. soon after it was silly not to be on the night court, but either way it was a great tournament.

Top four in standings for THE LADIES ARMY...

1. Bushwackers (East Van - Cara, Lora, Patricia)
2. In my back pocket (Ottawa - Jen, Ohlea, Shelly)
3. Vagic Moments (East Van - Lisa, Naomi, Polly)
4. Killer Ladybugs (Victoria - Cordelia, Naomi, damn and apologies, I forget their third)

I'll try to get all final standings posted after the crown. The Ladies are feeling it after an amazing Friday of killer games, full day of games yesterday, but they don't cease to amaze, they're still bringing it!

Thank you ladies (and the fellas that helped) for putting this on. I had so much fun and can't wait to come back next year. It was amazing to see such great polo from the all-women teams. And congrats to the ladies for making it so far in the Crown as well. Amazing weekend!

Thank you Ladies Army for putting on such an awesome tournament! It was so fun to play such a high level of polo against such Rockstars.

Thanks to Fiona and Rachel for repping the East Coast with such Style. I had a great time playing with you.

Thanks to Polly for the hospitality - Hostess with the Mostess Award, in my book.

Thanks to all the friends, volunteers and spectators who cheered us on and fed us and but beers in our hands and tents over our heads and changed our flats and etc. etc.

And thanks to Martin and Rory and Adam and the other East Vanners who peer pressured me into coming to this damn thing in the first place. I'm very glad I did.

Hey Ladies!

Great to see that there´s so many girls playing. The girls from Munich couldn´t make it to your tournament this year. Seems it was so much fun that there´s going to be another one next year, huh? Please keep me updated. And feel free to come and play with us if you happen to be around.
