Hey everyone,
Could you please let me know if we take our spot or not? If so, who is going? I try to reach everyone here and on FB, please read it through and let me know. Thanks:)
Dear Poloverse,
The new EHPA council his coming to you with great news.
1.The EHPC will now take place every 2 years, to get better organized and improve the experience of the participating teams, while reducing the financial load on the teams that travel the most.
2.We are inaugurating the "EHPA Dominion Cup", a country based bench championship, held during the down years. The name was picked in honor to the Stanley Cup, to highlight the increasing similarities between our sports.
The "EHPA Dominion Cup" will be held on Nov 11-13th 2016 in Torino, in their amazing spot. 3 courts, 32 teams of 5 players, 40 min games. Schedule to be posted soon. The participating countries were computed using the World Map (https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1PJIoJGmOy0dC-zEL-c3ymWElNgs). Every country with an active club was given a spot. A team must contain at least 3 players actively playing there. If your country contains an active club that wasn't represented in the map, please get in touch with us via email and we will fix the issue. 1 spot was given to the organizing country and 4 spots are on a "first come first serve" basis, for other teams to enter the event. We will open the "first come first serve spots on Oct 3rd, every country that hasn't claimed its spot by then will lose its spot. Countries that placed in the Top 32 in Zaragosa have their top teams selected as "captains". One of the players of the team must be present in the final list of 5. If the team wishes to give up their spot, it will go to the next team in line.
The list of participating countries and their teams is here:

It will be automatically updated as we go along.
We are looking forward to seeing you all there, defending your colors. We have many other exciting announcements to make and will communicate regularly. Please make sure all your club players like the page.
Please share.
Cheers,
The EHPA Committee
