World Hardcourt and KEXP
Worlds Tournament is here!
For those of you who listen to KEXP, you may have just heard a shout out to us! If this is the first you’ve heard of Bike Polo, welcome, and you should come to Magnuson Park in Seattle to see the World Hardcourt Polo Championships! There are a ton of details at WHPBC2011.com about the tournament itself, including a list of teams playing. We’ve got players from Europe, Australia, Japan and the United States coming in for the best Bike Polo happening all year. Come by and see what all the spectacle is about this week, September 7th through the 11th!
Thanks to KEXP for telling the world about us, and we hope to see you out at Magnuson Park this week!

Busy Summer Months
We’ve all been busy as can be, what with playing polo (obviously), organizing the World Hardcourt Bike Polo Championships for September, and tournaments have been pulling almost all of Seattle Bike Polo all over the country! (and in one case all the way to Europe!)
We’re also working on getting The Worlds Site up and running, so keep coming back for updates and we’ll be posting some pictures and stats about the most recent polo tournaments around the country.
Fear not if we seem a little quiet right now, there are deep rumblings that are making Seattle polo better, faster, harder… you get the idea.
Congratulations Seattle Ladies!
Congratulations to the Seattle participants of the Ladies Army III tournament in Austin, Texas this past weekend! The podium was overrun by several of Emerald City’s finest females:
1) Cunning Stunts (Cherri – Seattle / Maija – Toronto / Birdie – Milwaukee)
2) The C.L.A.P. (Kiersten – Seattle / Mckenzie – Seattle / Shannon – Vancouver)
3) Nasty Ass Honey Badgers (Leslie – Seattle / Elise – Austin / Tina – Austin)
An honorable mention goes to the Seattle “coaches” for providing support and shenanigans.
Caught in the Act
On Sunday a number of us (most of Seattle Polo) were at Cal Anderson playing hard when a guy rode up on his bike and asked for a group photo. Somehow, he managed to make it happen, and it turns out he has a blog! So check it out and see some of the shining faces of Seattle Bike Polo at http://tubulocity.com/
Oh, and you can see Dave’s new tattoo, also.

The Sun is Shining…
It’s the first week of Spring. The weather is almost perfect.
If you are not working and not playing polo right now, there is something wrong with your life.
