Indiana Invitational - June 19th, 2010

Finally, real polo is coming to the great state of Indiana! We ladies and gents of the Bloomington club will be hosting our (and Indiana's) first tournament on June 19th. We wanted to have an Invite (instead of an Open) so that all the younger/newer teams around the Midwest have a chance to experience fast-paced tournament play without getting 5-0'd by slayers every game (we were originally gonna call this tourney "Young Guns" but decided against it). That being said, anyone who really wants to attend can. We've already extended invitations to Indianapolis, Muncie, Ft.Wayne, Lafayette, Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor, Decatur, Lexington, St.Louis (sort of), and have made attempts to contact Nashville and Louisville. We're also hoping to invite many of the Ohio clubs but we've had our hands full this week. The poloverse is rapidly expanding, so if you know any club or player who would like to attend point them in our direction!

For a mere $5 a person you'll get a day of competitive polo, housing with locals, spokecard, 2.5 meals, a crazy afterparty, and the chance to win one of many silly awards.

Housing/Registration contact - tdavies@indiana.edu

More info (rules, maps, etc) will be posted in the following days, so stay tuned!

  13. I'm pretty sure we already have a design. Yours looks like every other club logo out there. I'd say go back to the drawing board brucebruce.

  15. I think he is right about having a logo already, and I would say look at as many club logo's as possible, then try to make something not like those, and something that screams Bloomington, polo, and bikes!

  16. i applaud bruce for at least trying, it's hard coming up with something. I've racked my brain for months, tried all sorts of designs, and the two i've come up with still aren't as original as i'd like...

  17. btw, who is posting as "don ron"? i thought it was donnie...

  18. psh, hell yeah, I couldn't have come up with anything, but since he has the means, I figured I would repeat what we had discussed for our crest thing. And I thought it was Rinzin...
