Not feeling the poster. reconsidering the trip

+1, typographic suicide.

I love that probably 75% of polo players are in 'media'

Gah, my eyes! :o

looking at flights, cheapest way right now seems to be with Canadian affair, flying to vancouver

Leaving sun 4/11
Returning sun 18/11 (day after the EV crown)

£568

Max, how the visas work? do we need to do both visas here in Europa or you canget a short visit visa over the border? Any tips?

For Canada? You generally don't need a visa to enter Canada (if you're coming from the EU).

visa on arrival for canada

you have to do a pre-check now for the states (can do it online), then you get at the border.

I dont know why I though it would have been more compliacted

For sure ponies bonna be in NA for Seattle, so if there is a spot lefet or more on the 24, we gently ask for one... The wildcard tourney gonna more looks like an internal NA stuff...

I'm sure lots of teams from that list are not making it,

I will not have any problem letting Ponies, MGM, DTGP, or any mixed team to get a spare spot of those 24.

the more European teams in Seattle the better, and the easier to get there the betterer

+1000. I don't think 24 teams are going to make it, so any team that can get to Seattle should get one of Europe's spots.

If anyone wants to make a euro team, let me know. I got my ticket but need a team, woul rather rep for europe

If a team wants to go and does not have a 3rd player I can join (need to find sponsors though), also if there are 2 "different" players, forming a team is a possibility.

So am playing with Max and Alejandro, who else here is going? Where are people staying? Tempted to rent a house via airnb.com

I don't think anyone is going!

:(
Can't believe London isn't sending a team. UK even!
