–noun Polo. one of the periods of play.

Chukker is a period of play in polo. Deal with it. It is also the name of a rim for bike polo designed by Velocity.

I think I'll stick with calling a game a game. Sorry Matt!

Dr V, you can't just decide on your own that that's now the name of a hardcourt period of play. It's derived from posh polo.

I love our game because of its total subversion of the horse variety. One of the things that pisses me off when people find out that I play bike polo are their assumptions that it is the same as horse polo and therefore an elitist, snobbish game. One of their very first questions tends to be "Oh, so you have chukkers, right".

Yes, it's just a word, but in my opinion it is one that we should not seek to import to hardcourt.

leave him alone! at least he played a few 'chukkas' this weekend rather than you NE'ties who never leave the hutch.

Chukkers do not belong in Hardcourt bike polo.

yes, please don't call them chukkers, that's so pretentious. why would you change the word 'game' for the 'word' 'chukkers', it longer, and requires one to say it with a really posh accent.

Whatever. Whatever. If you want to call your sport polo, and you want to play three games in a match, then you are playing three chukkers. That's just the way it is. Call them what you want, but they are chukkers.

If i remember correctly, both you contrarians were originally against using the word "hardcourt" to describe our game.

I know -- playing bike polo is pure subversion. Global capitalism beware!

do what you will DrV, i will never called it chukkers.

Radical. Fuck the man!

yeah, never.

list looks good Matt, but can we add an option about limiting the number of times a team can postpone thier game outside of the usual time. I'm trying to think of ways to avoid a team building up a load of unplayed but unforfeited games.

eg. You can only postpone 3 games outside the usual time. The forth time the game will automatically be forfeited.

How about this? How many times can a team postpone a game outside the usual fixture period?

1. Never
   
2. 1 game
   
3. 2 games
   
4. 3 games
   
5. Unlimited

1. Never
   
   

My vote. Play with a sub, play with 2 players, play on one leg, but play.

Those toff wankers on horses call their hammers "mallets." But i refuse that bourgeois bullshit. I will never call my hammer a mallet.

weapon.

Hahaha

I would also like to rename our sport to Bike Hockey.

You could ban lefties while your at it.
