EHBPC Barcelona 2011. The official thread, info and inquiries. schrieb:I know we've been pretty silent about the whole organization of this upcoming Euro championship. As most of you know, we've been stuck in a bureacratic silence ourselves.
That being said, we are working on what will be the format of the tournament and we would like to hear what the people have to say about this.
Depending on the resolution from the city hall we have a two main options available for the format of the tourney.
The first one, and the one we like the most, will be a 5 day event that will start on thursday june 2nd and will end on monday the 6th. 48+ slots on 3 courts of about 37 x 17 meters. Thursday being a warm-up/welcome day and everybody gets together to get familiarized with the courts. From there friday and saturday will be official games on a round-robin format (with the possibility to have one court open for throw-ins for those not playing one of the two days. Double elimination Super Sunday where we see who's who at the euro polo business and finally, a cool-off/farewell polo session on monday at the euro courts with a possible introduction session for beginners.
Now, the second choice would be a more discrete venture. 48 slots only on 3 courts 37 x 17. Informal thursday at our local court (either La Aspirina or El Templo). Warm-up/welcome friday to get to know the official courts. Round-robin Friday and double elimination Super Sunday. We bid everyone adieu at our local courts after that....
We would like to know your opinion as well as suggestions to make this event what is supposed to be: the most kickass polo weekend of the year!
Please post all inquiries here.

Also, I would like to start tallying the teams interested in participating, so I will need a city representative to send an email with the number of players in your community, how long has your city been playing and the number of teams you would like to send and if possible, the tournament awards you've collected. Please, ONE EMAIL PER CITY ONLY. This is by no means a registry form, but merely a way to know the potential amplitude of the event.

UK 10
Germany 8
France 8
Italy 7
Spain 5
Switzerland 5
Benelux 3
Hungary 1
Portugal 1
-------------------------------
Total: 48 teams.

We are making sure we can have a wildcard tourney, so that those that couldn't make it in their local qualifiers can still come and play.
