Melted Madness Tournament in Vienna - 22./23.6. - queering polo

Dear bike polo family!

Are you ready for some melted madness? Bike Polo Vienna wants to queer polo with you <3

We are happy to announce a tournament on the weekend 22. & 23.6. at our new city court at the Schmelz! June is Pride Month, so we especially encourage all the queers, trans, non-binary, agender, intersex folks to register. We want to create a safer space in a competitive tournament and will plan some nice activities around the tournament.

We will probably be able to host all of you and can keep registration fee quite low, as a huge part of the event will be funded by the City of Vienna.

More informations to all of this:
We will ask you for a registration fee from 10-30€ per player. 10€ is the minimum to be able to provide breakfast and snacks, if you can pay more you are supporting Bikepolo Vienna Club <3

Registration opens 30.03. at 16:10 and closes 30.04. at 13:12. There will be 16 teams in total.

We have some questions for you and will turn them into something beautiful
for every team, so please carefully answer them. Keep in mind that
you need to have a team name and no TBA’s!

We do love Bike Polo because it is a team sport and because of our community and we want to celebrate that. We encourage you to celebrate your team as well, so get into the communication with each other and share some fun facts about yourselves!
Also, if you want to offer something like a workshop or side activity (polo or not polo related), let us know.

It works like this:
Get a team! Find a team name.
Check the questions before and collect your answers, then assign one person to fill out the registration form. Might take you a few minutes to do that then, sorry! :D (not sorry)
Take a picture together or make a photoshop collage with your team and upload it!
Wait for the lottery on the 1st of may.

Priority to trans, non-binary, agender, intersex, female, lesbian players!

Means there will be 4 different pots in the lottery, all flinta* teams will be drawn first, all cis-male teams will be drawn last.

6 slots will be for Vienna teams, 3/3 from Vienna and same pot procedure.

To an amazing weekend with lots of polo love <3

here the link to the tournament chat!

Oida!
How are you melting? Hopefully, madly.

With all my respect to organizers and their schedule of information stream, I skip rudely a que.
Can we expect an info on housing anytime soon?
Our team raised a request, but specifically me will need to sort out a place to stay quite in advance. As I travel with my family, I will likely be quite picky in order to minimise our disturbance.
I am happy to book a private place by myself which is potentially less disruptive, too. I just do not want to miss some special offer, even though I may not accept it after all…
Vielen dank.
