the WORLD POLO championships

Borrowed from hardcourtbikepolo, I think we need to be having this discussion here too. Read on, and please comment.

“Official” Question?” Does it need to be “Official”?

With so many tournaments going on this year, and I’m guessing next year will be even more crowded with events, one begins to think which is the BIG, big one. You have need for an international tournament, and a national tournament. Right now CMWC and NACCC are basically messenger race events with polo tournaments included. The West side, East side, North side, and Mid-West all have regional tournaments. Most of the time it’s a polo event that sometimes includes a race. As the community of devoted polo players gets more and more in touch with other regions, and reputations are developed around the best players in each region, one begins to think which is the BEST, best team. I am guessing more than a few teams want the title, but beyond the regionals there is no “Official” title. Should there be one and what should it be?

I’ll repost some comments on the subject, see more:

Legit Bike Polo Stuff

straight from the rookie’s mouth:

$10 mallets and blank corrugated plastic wheelcovers (including zipties). Will custom make stuff for the same price, such as custom pole or head length, paint color, custom handle color or style, etc. Also custom designs on wheel covers could be made within my means, likely for an extra $10 for both sides, though many people will prefer to spice them up themselves. ’soon as I more/less break even on inventory and equipment costs (no money is taken by me for labor), all profits will be funneled into the bike polo scene somehow. (or a portion of sales will be dedicated to a bike-polo community fund)

legitbikepolo.com will be up soon hopefully.
