Taka and Jamal did it again ! Weather was cold, but teams from Belgium, France and, of course, the Netherlands, came to make it hot and have a great time. Some teams are better and better, more and more seen near or even on the podium: Brussels did it well at this tournament, but (again) Antwerp managed to take 2 places.

Well done, “shuffle boys” !

This year, the qualifying tournament to grab a ticket for the Euro Bike Polo Championships (June 24-26, Barcelona), took place in Haarlem (in the Netherlands, not Harlem!).
Because places are limited to 3 teams for the Benelux (10 for UK, 8 for Germany, 8 for France…), 3 teams from Antwerp and 2 from Brussels played hard against the Dutch teams.

But Belgians are not easy to eat: 2 teams are in the top 3!
Guacapolo from Brussels finished 2nd, Fishsticks 3rd place!

During 2 days, an international Fixed Gear Freestyle Jam and a Polo tournament
took place in Lisbon, Portugal.

14 teams divided in 2 groups, so that every team played at least 6 games a day
before the elimination rounds.
Then, the Semi-Final, followed by the game for 3rd and 4th place, and finally the double-final!
The Guacapolo, from Brussels — Molo, Sacha, Antoine, and their coaches Clemsy and Dan — were there to enjoy the sun and games.

So, we now know where are the best european Polo players from:
if you want to improve your game, go to France !
Final game was against Switzerland, and ended with a score of 13:10.

FixedGearAntwerp, who had several players in Karlsruhe, wrote a short resume on their blog:
We won against Italy and Karlsruhe, tied against London and lost the 5 other games. The teams consisted of the top 10 players of each country, so in the end we were pretty happy with our 7th place. The frogs took home the trophy, by the way.

About statistics, here are short tables results:

After Italy, London (not England yet: London) and Switzerland…

and after a lot of (not that usefull) discussions, the players have been choosed: Taka will be our Captain, on general agreement.
But we had to decide how many player’s spots for the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland and Denmark… Finally: 4 NL / 4 BE / 1 PL / 1 DK.
And we managed to combine 1 team with 4 countries (but it needed 13 pages on a forum):
Benelux Team
• Taka (EHV/cap)
• Jamal (EHV) • Rutger (EHV) • Lorenzo (EHV)
• Samson (DK)
• Agata (PL)
• Antoine (Brussels) • Jaouad (Antwerp) • Nicky (Antwerp) • Chris (Antwerp)
… and here comes the mascot !

35 days to go…
- Infos:
Greifmasters.com • 4-5-6 February 2011 • Entrance hall of „Messe Karlsruhe“,
Messeallee 1, D-76287 Rheinstetten, Germany.

In 44 days from today will start the second edition of the Greifmasters, still taking place in Karlsruhe (Germany) during 3 days.

As the format will be “Bench Minor”, countries are discussing hard to build their (big) team, choose a captain and defend their colors: Benelux, England, France, Germany, Italy, London, Switzerland, Spain and… Karlsruhe, of course.
The circus will be from 4 to 6 February 2011 and we already know composition of Spain and France:

We ask ourselves what animal will represent Benelux-Denmark-Poland, but as graphics are great, we don’t worry ! To be continued… !
