Polo Invitational Sunday 2nd September

**Location: **Highgate Park B12 0PJ. Free parking on the road by the Paragon Hotel. Look out for Npower 'Urban Cricket' court.

**Start Time: **10am, please arrive with adequate time to get ready so we can start promptly.

**Format: **TBC but hopefully 5 rounds of Swiss and then a little knockout/single elimination for the top four. We're aiming to get done around 5pm, so we're not hogging the court for the *entire *day.

This is a totally no-frills event, we'll have goals, pens/paper, whistles/stopwatches and our court is awesome, but assume we're providing nothing else.

Please add your team name and members to the list to confirm you're coming. **If the weather is terrible we will postpone until the following Sunday. **We're assuming people will drive (trains don't usually get people anywhere for 9.30 on a Sunday morning anyway) so hopefully it won't put anyone out. Any queries, PM me.

Ten teams max, first come first served, (2 teams max for Cambridge, Manchester and Bristol, 1 each for Sheffield and Cardiff).

Chan is that Ben Beagle?
Bristol will definitely be able to fill 3 spots if theirs room

nope, ben from mcr

8 teams is much more preferable than 9, so either don't push too hard, or push really hard.

Or speak to each other and negotiate player/team swaps. We're not too fussed how many teams come from each city, so long as there are no more than 10, and preferably even numbers.

Change of plans, looks like I'm going to Manchester for Saturday night and heading down Sunday morning from there.

Troika can't come, so there's two more spaces (maybe three if Manchester can't make it).

In prelim discussions with other Bristol folk to play, but I am deffo up for this. Hopefully with Ninja and one other TBC. Can I provisionally book a spot? Will deffo find a 3rd!

Yeah sure, it sounds like you're all talking to each other, so trading spaces should work and give us ten teams.

Bring Paddy.

Yeah. Bring Paddy.

The aim of this tournament is to raise the level of play across the rest of the UK (i.e. outside london).
We hope this Regional/North&West Invitational will be an informal variant of the London League that will help the non-London teams hone their competitive/tournament skills.
So we would like to encourage other cities to host their own over the winter. Get planning people.
