When's the final then? Are we placing bets this year? I want some action on Outlawz/Birds...

I think the final is around 4am on Saturday morning.

wheres the viewing party at? Emmet and I were thinking of watching it together...anyone else?

I'm up for it, could potentially do it at mine

Luca bent his forks in this one:

Control scored off the advantage, and ended up winning 2-1

stupid........

that looked like it hurt!

Unlucky--don't games normally get interrupted when that sort of thing happens?

maybe

Depends on the situation. If team who was fouled has possession, the referee is meant to award advantage, and play on.

In this case the referee felt that Forrest was fouled by Luca, and as The Control had the ball, played on.

Easy to find a RC forks at the worlds

Definitely easy to find lightfoot forks, that's for sure!

Sadly no velvet forks :(

Oo shit tho you were using R Circle shit bro no nice

Ah cheers, couldn't find the recording of the game on the site.

That looked like Luca was heading away with the ball and the other guy initiated the (questionable) contact?!

How was that called a steering arm infraction by Luca if the contact initiated at Luca's fork? Confused.

Good luck in the finals Luca!

exactly J-donk. Forrest looks sees luca coming, then initiates a block. Luca has one hand off bar, pointing mallet ready to dribble and is totally impeded. Champ shrugs it off nicely and ride like a bozz on someone elses bike.

CMD and Outlawz final, the bracket is all set up for it. Although single elim could make for some upsets. But probs not

Hooking needs to go.

Hooking needed to go about 2 years ago! what is bike polo?

Watched far too many games last night, subsequently went to bed at 2am. A big well done to Timaru for such a great hosting/streaming/reffed event. Can't believe Uk has such a small representation. Is it austerity polo these days? I do find the constant Criticism of CMD's "aggressive" play by commentators unfair. No worse than Outlaws and Control surely. I think the North Americans are looking for excuses for being outplayed.
