Hell's Belles 2025 - Birmingham Flinta/ WAQ (women & queer) tournament

Hi All,

Hell’s Belles Vol. 12 will take place on 19th and 20th July in Cotteridge Park, Birmingham where we have two courts.

TEAMS: 3 players per team all must be flinta/waq (women and queer). Registration will open on Wednesday 19th March 5pm (GMT) and will close on Wednesday 2nd April 5pm (GMT). Three places will be reserved for Birmingham teams and one for the reigning champions Ruckus. We hope that with two courts we’ll be able to fit in everyone who wants to play but if not, we’ll do a lottery on the 3rd April. Register here: https://forms.gle/jMUKqWRySwDwmyNg6

FREE AGENTS: We want to make this tournament as inclusive as possible and we know that some FLINTAs might be the only ones in their club, or that making a team can be daunting for newer players. Because of this we’ll have an option on the registration form for people who want to register as a free agent and we’ll match you with other players.

REGISTRATION COSTS: Registration will be £10 per person.

TRAVEL: If you have any questions about UK travel, feel free to reach out and we’ll help you work out options.

ACCOMMODATION: We’re a small club so we can’t guarantee accommodation for everyone but we’re looking at options to host as many people as possible.

We’re really excited to be able to welcome you to Birmingham and our lovely new courts!

Love
Kat & Brum Bike Polo!

We’re happy to announce that everyone who registered for Hell’s Belles is IN!!!

The team list is below. We’re still trying to triangulate the favourite colours, courtside snacks, and playing styles for the people who signed up as solo poloers in order to make teams but you all definitely have a slot and we’ll be in touch!

We can provide accommodation for everyone who wants it. However just to let you know some of the spots we have are in a local Scout Hut. It has a kitchen, toilet and shower facilities but everyone will be sleeping in a large communal space. Again, we’ll work out where to fit everyone in and let you know.
