As mentioned in the EHBPC main topic I think it would be great to talk about how to organize big events as a community in the future; about EHBA if there are people who could see themselves getting involved and anything else people have on their minds-
I could organize it; maybe finding someone more suitable to play host/ moderator but first:
Is there any interest within the community for a live exchange of opinions?
Comment and share if you want to see it happen!
Please make it happen

I don‘t know if those attending the flinta forum at hells bellxs bern have any messages/ points for the community…?
Pretty much needed . The matter is fitting it into a standard 2 days tournament schedule .
Open forum should be standard in every tournament (not mandatory but really recommended)
I will try to organize the open forum for Torino open in September, it will probably follow the saturday dinner (10pm - 12pm).
It would be nice to have shared report available for everyone in order to have starting point for the discussion.
Not many replies here but talking to people in Montpellier it seems that interest is definitely there. Will get in contact with perpi and report back.
Pls post your topics here!
I have one to add: community policing
Topic: country representatives participate in slots attribution decisions
Would like to see it happen!
I think it would be cool to follow up with a discussion on Poloverse on the topics discussed in the Forum. To be more inclusive and allow everyone to share their thoughts like those who might not be comfortable doing so in a big open forum or might want to so anonymously (see past flinta discussions).
Also if you have nice, flat surface open areas in your city (ice rinks…); the community would like to know ;)
I want to get involved. Bordeaux Bikepolo wants stuff to happen.
Big forum at Perpi in July?
It was an awesome tournament in Perpignan.
Hey,
Was there some summary/reports/notes taken during the forum? I think it would be great to know what was discussed and which/if any decisions were taken at the open forum for people who were not there!
Hey! Thanks for asking :) I did a summary but wanted to check in with some people before posting it. Here it is
RECAP / SUMMARY
As promised, here‘s a summary of what was discussed at the open forum in perpignan 
Big thanks to @Ellon for helping with moderation and @Elodie for giving advice!!
Original topic: Open Forum @ EHBPC 2025
Topics that were discussed:
-ehbpc 2026 (biiig silence 
) Suggestion to only hold every second year and or announce more than one year in advance even if next year is still open.
Suggestion to transport boards across europe. Suggestion to have an ongoing topic on poloverse and to collect experiences/ advice from organizers by @Jibbz
-ehbpc 2026 mandatory mixed? Brought up by @Bulle after a majority of 166 players in the global survey and 66% of european FLINTA players had expressed their will in a survey. Several voices stated that it should be a temporary measure, but current FLINTA participation speaks volumes. A mandatory mixed next ehbpc could be seen as an experiment, with the intention of reviewing the result afterwards.
But how to get to a decision? Bring it up to alejandro/ django? Wish for a community decision on the subject was expressed..could go along well with ehba elections
-community policing (code of conduct? Task force? Ehba to handle?)
-and ehba elections. This topic yielded the biggest discussion, so I will get into it a little bit more here. The topics discussed above could all be handled through task forces, which was proposed several times. The problem with this would be that people feel like ‚imposters‘ or not having the legitimacy to decide or even make suggestions for the community. Elections could potentially solve this.
-a big point that was raised was how to decide which jobs EHBA should even have and how their decisions could be enforced? > common sentiment seemed to be that people/ team(s) should run for EHBA with a program detailing what they want to do. Anything outside of ehbpc or rules, like diversity policies or community policing in case of serious misbehaviour/ allegations would most likely always remain suggestions.
-it was mentioned that running as a team could lower the threshold, as people would know who they would work with and could come up with a common program.
-there was definitely a wish for more efforts on a european level, but also concerns about this being realistic. Any possible future commitee should still try to delegate as many jobs as possible, was one opinion voiced- the commitee could be almost purely a moderation platform.
Generally there are concerns to disturb the current ‚do-ocracy‘ model, but there are also big hopes to push things forward and a sentiment that „trying won‘t hurt“
Again, I would like to thank everyone present, everyone reading this, showing interest and giving their opinion!
My agenda behind this is forwarding the sport and the community by pushing self-organization, representation, etc.
It was a first time as far as I know - outside of FLINTA-tournaments.
People are not used to the format and you could tell. But I would be very happy to try again and not just at ehbpc but tournaments where other parts of the community are present as well.
Lezz push it push ittttt!!
