Indoor-Bikepolo on Saturday & Sunday 8./9. December. Final Registration 10.00, games Start 10.30 on Saturday and 9.30 on Sunday. End of games about 18.00 Sunday.
Saturday night: tournament in the hall, music and jam session in the cafe in front. You´re welcome to join with your own instruments or jam with that what we´ve got.
The „Weberei“ has got a hall with concrete ground (perfect smooth surface) wich is about 18 to 38 metres. You have to use white tires if you have rear brakes.
There is also a lobby and some common rooms where you can spend time waiting for your next game (playing table soccer or billiard). Smoking inside is not allowed.
Fridayevening we got the possibility for some easy pick up´s.

We will have some drinks and food. But there are good possibilities to buy everything nearby.
Costs for the tournament 5 euro per person.

Please invite your friends!

SCHEDULE
The idea is, that everybody plays as often as possible and doesn´t have to wait to long. So we want to start as soon as possible on Saturday and play till late at night. Simple plan ;-). Sunday we start a little bit earlier and try to finish till 18.00.

FORMAT
Swiss rounds on Saturday and double elim on Sunday.

Max and I are going, should be a fun tournament. One of the big reasons is this is brewed just 20 minutes away:

Oh and this (a spirit distilled from the beer)

...oh and the polo should be fun too, most of the top North German and Dutch players will be there.

^Hah! Dorks

wecked im up for it ,,

Looks like a fun tournament, and indoors so hopefully not to cold. If you guys need one more, I'm still looking for a team. You can get my horrible credentials from John.

In German, but you get a good idea of the court.

A few magicians in the background.

Am I right in thinking this is the first ever victory for a uk team (mostly) in a euro tourney? Nice work!

Ha. I think Dave & Mrak won a tournament in Utrecht in 2009/10?

BAD won the amsterdam tourney, defeating the mighty polo synthese.

Or maybe that's what it was. I'm sure Mrak told me he won something? Or he want to some dutch tournament where a UK team won something?

Tom, B, and I won a tourney in Eindhoven in 2009 (or so). Rupert, with some Dutchies, came second after being destroyed by Taka's cannonball attacks.

The first tourney with live streaming.
