Bill: I think the original thread got deleted. Here is a sort-of intermediate thread:

Yes, the decision to limit the EHBPC to Euros only has been made and it still stands. After talking to Iain last night, I have come to appreciate the logic of the decision: it is not an invite but specifically a closed tourney for Euros, just as if there were a UK only tourney to find the best team in the UK. Fine.
But as Kevin says, can't we all (both sides included) try to give each other the benefit of the doubt? Fucking christ.

Some of you are aware that folks on bikepolo.ca have been discussing an International Federation. They really would like more input from the Euros. One of the dudes pushing it, Montana Norvell, recently posted on another thread here to ask for more Euro input. Here is his post:
"Not to hijack this thread, but since your forum won't allow me to post my own until I've replied to others already existing, here goes (with apologies). For those not already aware, we're (myself and numerous other players in the US and Canada) trying to cobble together an organizing and governing body for Hardcourt worldwide and we would like your participation and support. I've posted the proposed template for such an organization on the NA forum, bikepolo.ca, and it is followed by a discussion of tax and governance issues which will need to be addressed upon incorporation. Although I did my best to alert European contacts to its progress, I have been disappointed by the absence of any Euro opinions regarding this. My original proposal for the Federation was met with skepticism, and a call for more detail; better explanation. This new post addresses structure and governance in much greater depth, and I would very much appreciate it if players here would take the time to read it and express your opinions. Thanks, and sorry to butt in."

New game for anyone leaving the crew:
NICK TAP OUT.
The departing person ("NICK") has to take on the whole crew in a game to one point. NICK gets a mallet, the mob only have their bikes. If Nick foots down, he has to TAP OUT. If any other player foots down, she has to leave the game. First team to score a goal wins.
