We are happy to announce that the tournament will take place!

But since it´s uncertain how many teams we´ll finally be, we have to decided, to keep it small and simple. That means we just have a fun weekend but sadly we won´t provide sleeping or food. (except somebody wants to cook :smiley: )

There is a Cafe / Bistro diectly next to the court and a restaurant 300m away. And there is a supermarket (closed on sunday) around 800m away from the court. So everything you need is super close!

We´ll have a fridge at the court and we´ll organize some beer and limo, so everybody stays cool like coolpolo jugo alpe :heart:

Concerning accommodation. We tried organize a place to stay but since the court isn´t directly in maribor and we don´t know how many people we are in the end, it wasn´t possible to do so. Therefore we kindly ask you to organize one by yourself. Cycling to maribor takes around 30-40min by Polobike on a safe bike route along river Drava. To help you we have prepared a list of possible alternatives, from apartments, hotels to hostels:

Ruse:

  • Family fun Pohorje
  • HOSTEL Postaja
  • Hotel Veter - Meljska

Maribor:

  • Petite Apartment
  • Apartment Bon Voyage
  • Apartma Gondola
  • Apartma Center
  • Stanovanje pod Pohorjem

If you plan to sleep in the car it´s no problem to do it on the parking lot behind the court!

I hope everybody finds a solution!

The format will be annouced 1 week before the tournament when I roughly know how many teams we are. We have lights till 22:00. So a lot of polo for those who come!

Because we basically don’t provide anything except the court, fame and love there won´t be any registration fee!! :love_letter:

So come by and have a fun weekend and let your friends know to organize a team and come aswell!

See you in August!

Hey, some last information:

We´ll start on Saturday at 10:00 and end on Sunday aroung 16:00/17:00. I´ll work on a good format so that every team has a good amount of games without being exhausted. It´s getting hot this weekend!
I think on Saturday we play round robin (maybe twice) and sunday the remaining games and a single or double elimination…

Are there any changes with the teams? Any spontaneous registration?

We´ll have some tents for shade and if you want to swim in Drava River bring your swimming trunks ;)

We are looking forward!
See you
