COMOPOLO

Missouri Bike Polo is planning to help N. Kruse, C. Hill, and B. Simon get to Geneva, Switzerland for the World Hardcourt Bike Polo Championships.

In an attempt to help dent the cost of traveling to Switzerland to represent the great state of Missouri, we are hosting a fundraising tournament on the 9th of June.

The tournament will be a single-day tournament with several Swiss rounds followed by a single or double elimination tournament. The tournament will probably be capped at around 24 teams, but if more teams want to make the trek to St. Louis, we can divide up the teams and spread out across the city's multiple roller hockey rinks.

There will be parties on Friday night and Saturday night. And there will be pick up games all day on Sunday.

Registration is $30 a team, and that fee goes directly into a pot that will help Nick, Charlie and Ben travel across the pond.

Other twists and fun will be had throughout the tournament (You won't have to trade any players, but you may be able to buy goals before the start of your games).

If you are interested in bringing a team to this fundraiser tournament, please send an email to ben.simon.stl(at)gmail(dot)com with the following information:

Team Name: __________
Teammate #1 Name: __________
Teammate #2 Name: __________
Teammate #3 Name: __________

Other details will be announced as the tournament approaches.

love it!

The original artwork that I uploaded had the wrong date. It's been corrected

Who: Missouri Bike Polo and anyone looking for fun!
What: Single-day tournament fundraiser with parties on Friday and Saturday night and pickup on Sunday.
Where: Probably Mt. Pleasant Park...Unless a lot of teams want to attend...Then we may change it to Maplewood.
When: June 9th - Game Start in the 9 o'clock hour.
Why: To raise money for Missouri representatives heading to Switzerland for the World Hardcourt Bike Polo Championships.

Did you already list this all over the web? I'm afraid that people would rather come to this than ours since its a fundraiser and we could lose money if no one signs up. Although I could be wrong and people could come to both. I just don't want to lose money.

It's here and on Facebook and I forwarded the info to Zach from Bloomington. It'll go on LOBP as soon as I can muster the intestinal fortitude to be on that site for an extended period of time.

The best solution for the 4v4 tournament is to host it later in the month of June... Like the 23rd or 30th.

That gives people that go to the fundraiser time to decompress and re-energize before heading back to Missouri for the 4v4 tournament.

It's like Floppy said in another thread, if you throw a good tournament, people will show up. Pick the right date, and everything will be fine.

COME TO THE FUNDRAISER FOR A FUN TIME! It will be my first weekend back in good ole' MO in over a year and a half. I am hereby declaring it my official welcome home party weekend.

I heard this rumor and I am so very happy it is true... I can barely contain myself just thinking of all the wild shit we will be getting into welcoming you home, Julia! HOLY FUCK! SERIOUSLY! HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

I knew the parties on Friday and Saturday night were going to be good. I didn't know they were going to be THIS GOOD!
