Hello hello lovely polo community !
Laura and I are organizing a new tournament in Rouen :star2: :ringer_planet: :zap:

FIRE : FLINTA – Invitational – Rouen, Epic

WHAT IS IT ? :hatching_chick:
The system is simple : we invited 16 FLINTA captains who will draft their teammates amongst all the registered players (= you) ! The format will be an old school but still working 3v3. Games will probably be a bit shorter than The Epiphany (only way to make sure we respect the schedule as we’re often late). Registration fees are 20€/player (3 player per team).

HOW DOES IT WORK FOR ME ? :turkey:
We will soon drop a form asking you for simple informations (Name, City, Estimated level, Few words about you) so you can register for the draft session. It’s open to every one, and I mean it. Don’t feel shy, if you want a chance to be drafted, the only way is to register yourself. There’s no limit for the registrations quantity. The only thing is that the 16 captains will choose only 32 people (16 captains + 32 players = 48 players = 16x3 players teams. Quick maths). There is no reserved spot for Rouen, not even for me except for the 2 invited captains from Rouen.

DRAFT ?! :penguin:
Yes ! Draft ! There first will be a lottery to order how captains will chose their teammates. First captain will choose 1 teammate, then the 2nd captain will choose their 1st teammate and so on until we reach the last captain. Then, we reverse order and the last captain will choose their 2nd teammate and so on until the previously first captain have chosen their 2nd teammate.

THE CAPTAINS ? :eagle:
All levels are represented. If you’re not in it, don’t feel sad about it, it was a difficult choice and we already want to organize it again next year with the captains we couldn’t invite. That doesn’t mean we don’t like you or whatever bad reason, we would have invited a lot more people but the slots aren’t infinite. Nevertheless, register for the draft for a chance to play this amazing tournament !

Here is the list of the invited captains (in no particular order) :

  • Julia (Berlin, Germany)
  • Lisa (Berlin, Germany)
  • Coralie (Lyon, France)
  • Anaïs (Rouen, France)
  • Céleste (Bordeaux, France)
  • Jojo (Geneva, Switzerland)
  • Trinidad (Madrid, Spain)
  • Nele (Leipzig, Germany)
  • Justine (Paris, France)
  • Laura (Rouen, France)
  • Elodie (Strasbourg, France)
  • Johana (Frankfurt, Germany)
  • Mya (London, England)
  • Quimey (Valencia, Spain / Cordoba, Argentina)
  • Bulle (Brussels, Belgium)
  • Anne-Lise (Bordeaux, France)

MM… FOOD :falafel:

  • Please, bring your plates/bowl, cutlery, mugs/ecocups. There will be food for both days (breakfasts, meals and Saturday evening diner). Please make an effort on this.

PLAYIN’ & REFFIN’ / REFFIN’ & PLAYIN’ :field_hockey::policeman:

  • Games will be 10 minutes long. Yep old school bike polo. (if we have the time, lasts Sunday games will be 12 minutes).

  • Saturday will be divided in two groups so you don’t wait too long between games.

  • Nevertheless we need refs. Yes… To do so we figured out a solution : The 8 teams that don’t play in the morning/afternoon will have 5 games to ref each. We’ll make a schedule with 2 teams per 5 games so we know there are 6 persons available to main, assist and goal ref.
    Both teams can organize themselves. Talk to each other, we know some people can’t handle the reffing, but can help on goal ref or stuff like that. It’s only 5 games, which means approx 1 hour.
    If teams are missing letting the other alone and not respecting the other players (by letting them without ref), there will be penalties. Both captains are in charge.

  • Saturday & Sunday schedule : Breakfast starts at 8:30am, games start at 9am.

SUM FUN :crazy_face:

  • There will be a silkscreen printing session on Saturday ! Bring you t-shirt, sweatshirt, clean undies or whatever to print the artwork of the tournament on it. It will be only one color (As soon as we know we’ll tell you if it’s only one or if you have the choice between colors). Price is to be determined, we’re trying to make it free, but maybe it’ll be free pricing. Bring some clothes anyway !

  • There will also be boardgames and fun stuff to get busy while waiting for your games and stuff.

PARTAAAAY !! :woman_cartwheeling:

  • Friday : There is a welcoming party organized at the OG place Guidoline ( 38 Rue Molière, 76000 Rouen ) ! There will be a small surprise there, please come enjoy some beers and stuff. There are some place to buy food nearby. It closes at 10pm but there are bars nearby.

  • Saturday : This is not the Epiphanie, YET we decided to organize a party on Saturday night at Le Moby’s ( 38 Bd de l’Yser, 76000 Rouen ). There will be free food (I mean, you paid for it in the registration fees) and options available nearby AND there will be a quick game with all teams ! Don’t go nowhere else, we need you there ! Woohoo !
