Hells Belles 2014

So it's that time again! Is anyone up for doing Hells Belles this year?

It was awesome that Cata did it in barcelona last year and I'd love to see another European city take it on again.

If there aren't any takers do we want to revisit it here?

If so, we would need to get on it now to ensure a good spot in the calendar. If the world's are in France, would we want it to be around that time? Would we want it to be part of or in and around the LO?

If we did it again, what is the consensus on format? I love the bench format for this kind of event. There's also 4v4 which could be interesting, or coed which is good for low numbers etc. Ultimately, I would like to see it happen and personally don't mind how it runs (re:format etc) as long as it's fun and gets a bunch of us together on court!

Ideas?

Nik

you could get GQ to sponsor it...

Mawhawhaw.

I was thinking Nike...

4v4 bench! :0

Offer it and if no one takes it then London it :)
4v4 bench sounds fun, otherwise a traditional 3v3 rr (big group anxiety) :)
Are all teams in HB strictly EU? (or can I invite some awesome São Paulo girls ?)

International! It's great when the worlds are in the EU and loads of foreigners steal our spots. Lol!

All kidding aside, seriously, invite them!

Excellent :)

Will cook for volunteers again as always.

Looking posi so far! Hereis a list:

   4.
   

I'm loving the idea of a bench format.
Would be really nice for say France to take it on though.
We should keep it going if no one else wants to though. Personally would rather keep it all ladies though, it just makes for a better atmosphere and more likely to get newbs playing.

£1 on Beaver Grrrls to win

i think 'tornado riders' will take it

They gonna have the whole crowd sniggering them on to win

1 vote for Melbourne!
Oh wait, I've retired.
Scrap that.

Time for a comeback.

around the time of the worlds would be great to get more girls and part of the london open if it's here!

any format sounds good to me.

Isn't there going to be an international bench for ladies in Bordeaux just before worlds?

Rly? Awesome! Could do it at a different time maybe. Need to see if the foreigners are up for it but I haven't been able to post on lobp on my phone (weirdly..maybe you need an iPhone to participate in modern day bike polo forums).
