Sydney's new 'pick-up' board

Check out the pic of Sydney’s new trial system of sorting out games for pick-up sessions. The idea is to help out new players without mallets and reduce ‘doubling-up’ of some one using more than one mallet to sneak a few extra games in. Each player that comes down has a paddle-pop stick and magnet. Sticks are drawn out randomly for each team, then each game is easily posted up on a magnetic board for everyone to see. Easy to see your place with with 4 games back-to-back! Supplies purchase from the local stationary store for under $25 and it easily fits in a bag!

For those looking at what’s next after Sydney’s tournament in February and Perth’s Australasian Championships in March, then here’s your answer! Winter Whack iii is Christchurch’s main event on the polo calendar with last years considered by many as the best tournament in Oz and NZ that year.

Craig and the Christchurch players have nailed in the date of the 1st and 2nd of June, but kicking off with Friday Night Knife Fights at 8pm. This will be the Queens Birthday weekend in NZ so there will be an additional day on top of the usual line-up! There are still more details to announce in the near future, but keep checking Christchurch’s site for the latest.

Sydney’s upcoming tournament ‘Cirque du Sydney’ on the 25/26th of February will be open from this coming Tuesday the 10th of January at 8pm! The double header weekend will include a team tournament on the first day, with a relaxed individual Mix-Up Tournament on the second. Head over to the tournament page on Sydney’s website for more information.

REGISTRATION: We will be accepting registrations for the teamed “Carney Carnage” tournament via email. Registrations for the second day throw up tournament “Sideshow Slaughter” will be taken on the day. Oh, did we forget to mention that the entire tournament will be FREE?!?! We will have a donations box on the day with all funds to go to Perth Cycle Polo to help in hosting the Australasian Championships.
