I saw the list refresh it self in one minute ... it was MAD, we have to make it cleaner now thanks to some teams (mallet ballet :) ) who did register like 5 times in 10 sec

Quick it is ON

it will be 11 for you guys, Simon told me there is a little mix up with the countdown, So keep refreshing, IT IS STILL 11 even for if in england the countdown says 1 hour left... damn jetlag

at the end of the countdown, the bouton will not appear automatically, you have to REFRESH it so it appears

there's a countdown on this link http://www.guidoline.com/magazine/epiphanie-bike-polo-week-end-2012/, at the end, a button will appear, and then you'll have to fill quickly a form with :

*- Team name

• Names of each player
  
• One phone Number
  
• Housing request*
  
  

i'll be on the other side :)

1 day 3 hours left before registration opens !

The court

Train between Rouen and Dieppe is exactly 10.90€ (each way) if you are over 25, Ferry is pretty cheap too, 38 euros (return), less if you are less than 25 if I recall correctly.

http://book.ldlines.fr/sales/results.aspx

then I'd say, hotel might cost around 20€/night depending on the hotel

It's quite easy to come, You can take the ferry "New Heaven - Dieppe" and either do London-Newheaven and Dieppe-Rouen by train (10£ + 8€ approx) or come by car and put it on the ferry. Dieppe Rouen is a really short drive, less than an hour.

And yes, no Hotel needed! we can house everyone

Thank god you were specific for some reason my stupid mind was thinking 1pm was the right time!

Are some local teams allowed to register early or could it end up being just London teams with fast connections?! :)

• there's a count down on the website where you have to register so you guys can't miss it.

• and yes we are keeping 4 spots for local teams

YesI hope you guys will register Fast, Keep in Mind that registration opens on tuesday at 12:00am but this is French Time, wich makes it 11:00am in England

Principle of the tourney and gifts

It's easy: No gift …. NO POLO
Each team brings a gift for another one. So each team will receive a gift from another one.
(Your gift has to be signed => « from 'team name' »).Keep in mind that a team is composed of 3 players, it's always hard to divide 1 item between 3 persons.
At the end, each team gets to pick one of the gifts under our Polo Christmas tree.

did someone film some of the games ?

bill=> I use **Michelin Wildrun'r 26x1.40 [B]tyres on my polo bike. **[/B]Top slick tyres, really light, and they grip really well ! 420grm. Not really expensive, but you don't want to use it on an only rear break bike. It wouldn't last long

every top slick tyres are lighter and grippier.

when you play against players such as Mo, 48 spokes isn't so much to stop the ball after all. My old back wheel still remembers our game against synthese in Berlin, 10 minutes = 4 spokes

I bet hooks don't have 48h wheels, that's why they're so fast.

wrong ! :)

+1

the trophy in front of my cosmic chimney before we take it to Guidoline on Wednesday. We love it ! It was a damn good idea to come by car though :)

Just Got up, like maks said, almost missed the ferry but thanks to all the cambridge crew, we had just enough time. Thanks you guys for an awesome week end of polo and UK love. Great to be housed in harvey's crazy fun house, and we had a great evening with cosmic at the Fish and Chinese Chips !

I'll post a pic of the trophy soon, awesome canon !!

Hooks are in town, we are taking a walk in the city, looking for a place to eat and then we ll go to the court maybe between 1 and 2 pm.

I think Clement is right.

IF you've got a good timing and you're ahead of the player to close the way, he can see you, or brake and avoid you.
If you don't have a good timing and are a bit late to close the way, then there's a good chance you're doing something illegal.

3.07: Clement is not moving, against the board. I'm coming in front of him to close the way, there's no contact at all. Nothing illegal here.

7.11: Johan and Quentin are just starting to accelerate. I'm coming ahead of them to close the way(without T-boning). They can see me, they have time to brake or change way. Nothing illegal here.
Quentin falls because he's just a bit late to put a screen on me and so he doesn't get in the way of Johan that has the ball.

a couple times woods skids into the player with the ball, thought that was not a illegal move, or am i wrong?
just wondering.......

wich move exactly are you talking about ? when in the video ?
