aka Bike Film Festival
aka Best Friend Forever...
Also on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/573644099361334/That's how it's gonna work: Everyone who ever thought of trying out bike polo is invited to come - especially your best friend! And, especially everyone from the Bike Film Festival who wants to have a go will be invited. (Of course all other not-so-new players are also more then welcome!)
Format rules:
This event will feel similar to an ABC tournament, but with all teams being shuffled after each round.- The first teams will be completely random (usual throw in style).
- All players that win their game get a piece of winning tape near the handle of their mallet.
- All players that lose their game get a piece of losing tape near their mallet head.
- All players that draw their game get no tape.
- All mallets are then ordered by tape hierarchy on the ground (most wins to most losses).
- The teams for the next round will be the best player, the worst player and the player in the middle (random draw used when players have equivalent tape).
- This continues for X rounds, time dependant (we'll keep you updated on this as the tournament progresses).
- The final teams (4 teams going into a single elim) will be chosen using the same method as above, so the bonus is to become the best, the worst, or the very average.
Special rules:
Normal NAH rules apply with the addition of the following.- If your mallet is broken during the day you will have to start again at no tape with a new mallet (hacking will result in game ejection but is perhaps worth it).
- Tape tampering will result in the destruction of your mallet (see above), tape tampering in the round before the finals will result in tournament ejection (you can still spectate).
- Occasionally (towards the end of the day), you may find it better to lose your game to get into the finals: keep an eye on your new team mates with each passing round.
- Noob players get identifying noob tape and their goals will be worth 2 points.
- Games are first to 5 points, or 10 minute games, draws allowed.
- There will be prizes (BFF t-shirts, hiplok locks and more...), a BBQ and drinking/having a good time is mandatory.
Other:
- We will have spare mallets for lending to noobs.
- We will have some loaner bikes for lending to noobs.
Meet 11am, Newington Gardens, Harper Road, Southwark SE1.
- The first teams will be completely random (usual throw in style).

Putting this up here... just because there's no fixiefoxie here yet.

I love this bike. On a few stronger parts I'm still working, like stem and cranks.
