Timetable:
Friday - Open warehouse for players who want to come down early. We will open the court from 6pm on the 30th March and you are free to play polo inside. If you get here earlier, and the weather is OK, we can direct you to our regular outdoor court (not the court used in previous tournaments), which is a 5 minute cycle ride away.
Friday night - Beers.
Saturday - We plan to start the games at 10am. We envisage finishing at around 8pm. There will be a few 'dust down' sessions where we will quickly sweep the court with dry mops to remove surface dust. Due to the type of format and the bench minor, we won't be having any breaks for lunch/tea. We want all teams to be at the court for the 9:30am registration.
Saturdaynight- party to be*confirmed..
Sunday - Re-start the round robins at 10am, final four play*off's*from 6pm.
Sunday close - We will lock up the warehouse at around 10pm.
We are looking into changing to 35 min games and 5 swiss rounds. Unfortunately with 9 teams there will be a bye. (5 teams will have to sit out 1 round max each based on results). But we will see better matches and longer games! We will discuss it tonight and announce any changes via this thread and a mass email. The start and end times will not change. Any reasonable comments appreciated.
