And in hockey, people switch out in part for lineup, but it is more so the case that the change due to heavy fatigue. In bike polo, this isn't really the case.

I think you'll find this isn't true. We've been experimenting with bench style games, and when you know you've got 3 minutes out there, you can reallllly hustle. I'm hitting the bench exhausted most of the time.

I'd say the ratio is more like 12 teams a court, but your point stands. If DPI couldn't do 36 teams on 3 courts then they're retarded. This has been done multiple times in other places.

Late start (10:30) and winter sunlight hours... delays, mechanicals, lunch, etc.

Its getting harder to run these tourneys, because expectations have gotten very high. I'd say come up with an interesting idea for a tourney that you can handle, and that you'd actually want to throw

As a general rule, you need a court per 10 teams. At DPI4 recently, there were 36 teams on 3 courts and it was a really tight squeeze to finish, even with 10 min games.

You've gotta have 4 courts for 48 teams. Austin is really stretching it with 32 teams on 2 courts

send me a fb message with the email you want to forward messages to...

Aaron asked me about this, and i was already working on it for syd's site, so now I can let people have an email like princent@comopolo.com and it will forward to another email

if you want yourname@comopolo.com, send me a Fb message with the name you want, and the email you want it to forward to

also we could have stuff like sometourney@comopolo.com for organizing events

Anyone coming to worlds?

You could come to portland before hand, I'm going to have plenty of room at my new place for people to stay, there are some other folks traveling, and there will be lots of polo!
