Tourney: EHBPC2010 Geneva Qualifiers 11.04.2010

So, here's the info from GVA:

Here is the final ratio for every city interested in EHBPC 2010.
We have received 93 pre-subsriptions from 30 cities for "olny" 48 slots.
So..
There is enough space for 48 teams.
The names of selected teams need to be know by first may 2010.

1) Each of the thirty cities that pre-registered gets one team
2) Each city that requested 3 or more spots gets 2 spots.
3) Each city that registered 5 or more spots gets 3 spots.
4) The biggest polo community (and organizers of EHBPC 2009) gets 4 spots.

Date to be confirmed

We will choose by means of a poll on LPC soon which day we will play. If a team cannot attend the qualifiers, they are automatically out.

Exciting stuff!

controversial stuff

geneva 3???

munich 3????

catania 2????
rouen 2?????
Karlsruhe only 2?????

I wonder if Budapest are the drunks we played at ECMC09?

yes they are

Oxford/Cambridge only 1 each? I'm sure they have at least 2 competitive teams?

But hey, no point stressing, decision has been made and i'm sure it wasn't an easy one.

@rik: it depends only of how many players they have named, maybe some "too much/less"

@chan, yes, but read

1) Each of the thirty cities that pre-registered gets one team
2) Each city that requested 3 or more spots gets 2 spots.
3) Each city that registered 5 or more spots gets 3 spots.
4) The biggest polo community (and organizers of EHBPC 2009) gets 4 spots.

so, they only registered 2 teams. so they get 1 slot.

surprising stuff in that list, polo is moving forward quicker that the yorgo doing circles

yorgo doing circles doesn't move forward, he goes nowhere.

quicker....

" Each city that registered 5 or more spots gets 3 spots"

I'm happy we have a small polo scene in MCR!

Good luck in the pre-qualifiers gabes, would be nice to "netto" you out of a tournament again ;)

ha, good luck with that.

#outofloop

Yeah, good questions! Gabes, is it your suggestion to do a qualifying tournament or was this decided somewhere?

And if someone can't make it they're automatically out!? We have a little more time this year, we should try to find a fairer way if we can.

Does anyone of you guys know if they have decided on a specific date yet? All we heard was something around July.

Oh Shit. London is coming to take that cup home.
