We are all done constructing the courts. All we do now is wait for the madness to start.
What you, the spectator, can do now is to enjoy what we have wrought.
Over 40 teams will compete at the 8th Midwest Bike Polo Championships. This year teams from over 25 different cities will be attending. Largely comprised of most every state in the Midwest and out to Florida, Texas, DC, Toronto, Colorado, California and more!
Here is the shortlist of events, culled from the last update.
Friday:
Come down to the 501 Club on Friday night for the pre-registration party and to say hello to all our out of town guests. There will be live music with no cover.
Saturday:
Get to the courts at Dunwoody College located in downtown Minneapolis at 818 Dunwoody Blvd for the first match at 10am. Play will go all day on three separate courts until 7/8pm.
Chef Shack will be on hand both days from 10am to 6pm to feed your hunger.
After the first days game there will be the obligatory and awesome alley party.
Sunday:
Matches begin at 10am and shortly after that the top 24 teams from the original will compete in a double elimination bracket for the Jenny Cup. Food, water and bathrooms will be on site all day both days for you to make yourself comfortable.
