Tourney: Greif Masters 2010 - 1st Bikepolo Tournament Karlsruhe 05-07.02.2010

Nope.

european finalists???

see you in Karlsruhe bitches!

Trying to sort out the Netto travel plans, we fly on Thurs afternoon but can't get any cheap trains on Thursday but can on Wednesday, can anyone put up some extremely good value polo players on Wednesday night? think we'd get in about 10 Weds night.. Anyone....?

ok so i'm beginging to look into travel arrangments...

firstly flyer says T is 6-7th but the website timetable says there qualifications on the friday? I'm asuming this won't be competitive play and will be throw-ins or something but could someone confirm?

secondly any recomendations travelwise? anyone find any deals etc?

We're flying Ryanair from Stansted, flights were cheap, bikes cost about £40 and they sting you with a £10 debit card fee, but still was the best deal...

yeah cheapest train i can find is £160 and thats assuming i can stay in paris over night...was it 40squid each way or return?

i have college until 5 thursday so i wont make that plane so i'd have to get the plane the evening of the fruday...does anyone know the craic for friday? it says qualifying round (36 games). But yeah, as far as i can tell from the flyer the T is over Sat and Sunday...?

Turd, there is competitive play on Friday. At first, there was only going to be 32 (?) teams, so it was a sat/sun tournament, then they let more teams in, most of whom will have to play on the Friday.

I'm pretty sure there's no competitive play on the Friday. Ryan-Air was the cheapest I could find Aidan... worked out at ~£130 with everything included, not bad.

(My bad, there is play apparently.)

Turd, there is competitive play on Friday.

ok thats what the post-registered teams bit means...bollocks...going to look into overnight trains.

To clear this up, there is competitive play on Friday, for the teams that are already present, other teams can start on Saturday.

Originally it was 28 teams, but demand pushed it to 40.

There is competitive play on Friday. But only for the 12 post-registered teams (and the teams already around and want to play)

Hannes.

Hehe. Thanks Gabes.

Can all of you guys let me know when you arrive at the Baden-Baden airport.
Because we are organising to pick you up there.

Me and the Bikepolo Karlsruhe VW will be at the airport on wednesday to pick up Gabes and Rik.
And on Thursday to pick up Em. How many others arrive on Thursday?

Can't wait! Less then 3 weeks to go!!!

Just in case anyone has been tempted!

BAD+Hops arrive on the thursday flight

so that means if it's alot easier for me to arrive on the friday that wouldn't effect BlackRebellions qualifying...

I want to be there for Friday, especially seems as everyone else is going to be there by the looks of things...Ideally i'm going to stay with a friend in Paris on Thursday night and get an early train on Friday morning but if it all ends up being a farse I might have to get the friday plane.

As Black Rebellion is one of the 12 post-registered teams, I have to check this first...
We need to play 36 games on friday. I'll check this and let you know tomorrow latest.

I think Netto are on the same flight as us, but I could be wrong.

ok...new plan i'm going to pull the 'i have to go to hospital for a check up' card and sneek out of uni early to get the Thursday evening flight. I will speak with my tutor tomorrow morning and book my flights tomorrow night,

So thanks Hannes but don't worry just yet as realistically i need to be on the Thursday flight to make life simple and cheap. i'll PM you tomorrow if there's a problem otherwise assume BR will play on Friday. Safe ting.
