    @B: We try to do our very best to get the same weather and light conditions as in 2010... BBQ at the bus station for the win...

    (Kind of) sad news:
    The third edition of Greif Masters will NOT be an indoor tournament and will NOT happen this Winter.

    After weeks of bullshit meetings with the people from the planned location and loads of talking and talking, it's really sad we'll not be able to host Greif Masters 3 at this amazing location. But we'll give it another try next Winter.

    Anyways. Here's our new plan. We will host the GM3 as a 2 court outdoor tournament at some point this Summer.
    We'll have a perfect brand new (bikepolo specific and specially built for us) Court and one other (also not bad) second court, camping and barbecue at the courts, etc… More details to follow later this year.

    The good part about this. As Karlsruhe is very central in Europe, there hopefully will be a lot of international players around because of the Worlds…

    That's it for now. All the best from Karlsruhe & see you guys soon!

Thank you so much Max for having us at your nice place, and Julia for the amazing Croissants. Thank you Eddy for beaming us home and thanks to Iain for beeing a Clown with us!

    +100000

    we need a european body pronto.

    Rakete will have been top 8 with or without Kico, so I dont think this situation is that bad. But we have to do something about it for future tournys

    +1 for the european body...

    and:
    Rakete could play Polo d'Oro on the German champs in a K.O. game...
    (just joking! - but would be great to watch anyways!)

    As Kiko plays in one of the Top5 European Teams (Euros and Worlds last year) and as he was definitely the strongest player on the team, it changed their result quite a lot. And they didn't even tell or ask someone else about that before the tournament...

    The rules say:
    "No player can play in two different teams in the same event, unless his team has already been eliminated"
    I don't know it the qualifiers belong to the main tournament, but if would make sense I think...

    However, sad that Polo d'Oro got 9th. But they'll be in Barcelona anyways!
