MGM Jungle Tournament 2011 – Paris
Monday, April 18th, 2011
Concept of the tournament, taking place in Paris (“Les Invalides”) on a saturday, was « A lot of polo, a lot of fun », and the MGM Polo team managed it pretty well!
Before each game, a player had to spin a wheel, defining a specific rule for the game, such as “No Willy No Goal” (obligation to willy to score), Strip Polo (take off a clothing if your team took a goal), “Death Foot” (if foot-down, the player is out till next goal). Sun was there, even if rain arrived at the end of the day, for the last game: Baboons Vs. Zebras
Results MGM Jungle 2011
| Place | Team | Players |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Zebras | Will, Jo, Yann |
| 2. | Raffiki’s Baboons | Maks, Woods, Quentin |
| 3. | Gorillas | Hugo, Pierre, Ed |
| 4. | Lions | Marmou, Greg, Matt |
