Birmingham Bike Polo (Wednesday nights / Sundays - info in the thread)

I think it will be better to create 3 teams of equal levels rather than captains picking.

I propose:
Malletesta
N3il
Viki

Hyper
LucasR
Kat

Danwentskiing
Dan LJ
Rita

I think those teams are relatively even. The problem with the picking system is that whoever picks first is at a big advantage.

That's the idea for taking turns to pick 'first' in each round, it should even out. But I'm happy with your suggestion. Although, if Rita *can't *make it, I could theoretically get stuck with Monty, which is obviously unfair. On me.

Been a bit out of the loop for a while but can make the tournament. Are people playing this wednesday? Sorry to mess up your lists...

sounds good. i relish an on court meltdown with chris.

Awesome games last night! We'll miss you Matt and Mia.

Calthorpe scared me a little though, hopefully the chap will get the lights sorted soon. Whats peoples feasibility of starting a little earlier on Wednesdays? Just to make the most of the light for the next few weeks?

Happy to start earlier, but the Bike Foundry doesn't close till 6 so we may not get much more time.

I echo the scaryness of Calthorpe in the semi-darkness!

I'm not playing this sunday, but me and Chris discussed alternative teams for the Brum tourney last night.

Do we want to get together and have a chat about it sometime?

Sunday the 8th at Highgate (10 or 10:30 or 11?!?! What time?)

Some people may not have teams but thats fine, just rock up on the day and we will be able to put you on a team

depending on the number of teams but we hope to play 4 or 5 swiss rounds, followed by a double elimination bracket, meaning that you are guaranteed at least 6 or 7 games
