Midwest Open 2 in MKE results

Another Midwest Open has come and gone. Lots of familiar faces and many new faces. Even several new clubs, Green Bay and Mankato, MN to name a few.

Minneapolis did really well at this tournament. 5 of our 6 teams officially made it to Sunday with a computer hiccup pushing Shark Farts out of the top 32 for Sunday. We had several stand out players which helped propel their teams deep into the double elimination bracket on Sunday. Meg Lee and Aren are two such players. Aren even took home the MVP award for the tournament.

Congrats to Nick T of Minneapolis on his teams’ 7th place finish. He got the call asking him to be a substitute player at 9:30am on Saturday and helped Chris and Nick from Lexington to yet another excellent finish.

Thanks to Milwaukee Bike Polo for hosting and bringing the Midwest together for such a fun time.

Git Sum vs King Shin Beef

Minneapolis’ Git Sum vs St Louis’ King Shin Beef, at the Midwest Open Bike Polo Tournament

Definitely the most exciting game of polo Minneapolis has ever been a part of. Do yourself a favor and watch in full screen mode. Minneapolis has faced up against King Shin Beef in many tournaments rarely, if ever, getting the best of them. This is the last game of round robin play on Saturday. Minneapolis was 2-1-1 and this point and needed a win to crawl out of the very competitive afternoon bracket.

They got the win and advanced to Sunday’s tournament. Placing in the top 16 of 50 teams. Congrats Git Sum! You made us all proud.

Midwest Open 2010

Greetings From Minnesota

Minneapolis Bike Polo is packing up and heading down South for the Midwest Open in Lexington, KY.

We are sending four full teams of Minneapolis poloists to play and party. Quality AND Quantity.

Get Some/$5 – Nick, Jeff and Ebbin

Peanut Butter and Jerry – Dustin, Sven and Jerry

The Placeholders – Bjorn, Ramon and Wade

Hot Lava – Kat, Greta and Landon

There has been some discussion on changing Hot Lava to Sisterhood of the Travelling Shants but I think the B-52s reference trumps a pun.

We couldn’t be more excited to see our extended Midwest polo family. We’ll see you in Kentucky on Friday!
