Whbpc 2011

So I've been talking to the guys in Mexico lately about next years WHBPC and they seem pretty excited about hosting it.
I would like to get the general opinion about this and give those guys some feedback.... Guadalajara 2011?
Viva Mexico cabrones!!!!!

i read in a magazine new york will host 2011!?

Yeah, they were saying that since last year.... but in Berlin they said they weren't capable of putting it together, so......

Who actually decides?

We should all decide.

MexiCAN!

Holy shit, I'm down for Guadalajara 2011!

guadalajaja

better pack bikinis, gonna be HOT

I love Guadalajara, there's a shoe shop in town for clown shoes.

Yeah man!
Guadalajara is one of the most beautiful cities in Mexico! Plus, you have Tequila, Jalisco real close.... you know? the town that gave the drink its name.

NAH, the North American Hardcourt organizing body, put out this proposal about 6 weeks ago and emailed a ton of people around the world with it: http://leagueofbikepolo.com/forum/organizing-polo/2010/08/09/to-the-poloverse-from-na-hardcourt-a-proposal-for-whbpc-2011

Since there was no opposition, and lots of support via email, phone, and that thread, the NAH is basically taking on this decision-making responsibility for 2011.

There is no reason, of course, that Guadalajara couldn't put in a bid, but i think it's good to have a (somewhat) democratic representative body that has had a lot of success this year figure this out, i.e., review bids, vote, etc.

As Roxy wrote on that LOBP thread, we should really be figuring these things out 2 years in advance. Since it's unlikely to take place in N.A., some people had better get together to figure out how to ... figure this out for 2012. I'm sure NAH would be happy to be involved but definitely shouldn't be leading it.

On that thread it says

1. Get proposals from North American polo clubs for major tournaments, similar to last year’s (see http://leagueofbikepolo.com/bid/nahbpc2010/madison for example). Clubs would have the option of having their bid considered for one of the 4 “majors”, and/or the NAHBPC, and/or the WHBPC. The best proposal we receive would win the right to host the WHBPC.
   

Sounds like only North America would be allowed to host WHBPC2011?

That would be correct, as it was hosted in Europe this year.

Well, but does Mexico count as NA?

According to NAFTA it does.

it would be awesome to see it in Mexico, but do they have the community/experience/infrastructure to make it work?

Perhaps a better established community cough cascadia cough would be better?

Or Ottawa/Toronto.

WHBPC in Canada! (but not Calgary).

personally I will say Guadalajara 2013
