Tourney: London International Invitational 2012 13th-15th Jan

Respect to JohnH & Josh for organising this. Nice venue, great court, superb polo. Someone bring some tinnies & an ice box.

yeah, an ice box for the balls! it was getting very humid inside venue, making the balls soft and sticky after every couple of games.

I'll try and pick a small one up on the way in...

Pics or literally none of this ever actually happened.

Cosmic!

Tonight we will be going to the Orwell, we will be getting there for around 8pm, until closing (early in the morning).

From 8:30pm to 9:30pm we will have a knife fight tournament.

Tomorrow will be epic to the power of awesome... Be there...

Just checking the start time for tomorrow - anyone?

10 apparently

The few games I saw were good fun to watch, will be down tomorrow for more!

2pm for the semis and the final, right? What format are those games going to be?

games start at 10am tommorow.

players, be there for 9.30am!

That is a great shot.

Good work.

2pm for the semis and the final, right? What format are those games going to be?

Hasn't been totally decided, but probably 20 mins with half-time, ie 10 mins each way.

Throw-ins after?

Should I bring my polo bike?

Probably, really depends on timing.

We should have 90 minutes between the end of the final and closing, if all goes well.

We aren't allowed to pack everything up until after the last public have left, so at 18:15.

Watched quite a few games yesterday at the show. First time I've seen polo in the flesh. Really enjoyed the pace, commitment and the skill of the riders and the (apparent) simplicity of the rules.
My young boys loved it too and would have stayed all day if we could have held them up to see over the barriers for any longer - will have to bring something for them to stand on next time.
Is there somewhere i can see yesterdays results so we can find out who we watched?
