Again thanks to all the folks who put this tourney together. I especially want to thank everyone who traveled to play. I, and I am sure all of Boston Bike Polo, was humbled by the show of comraderie from NYC, class from Ottawa and belligerence from RVA.
With a random seed of 16 teams in a double elimination bracket, each city had a team in the final four. The Coque Bloquers went undefeated. We held a playoff game to establish third place.
1st Place: Ottawa – Coque Bloquers (Alexis, Robbie, Jen)
2nd Place: Boston – Judas and the Betrayers (Nick, Tyler, Jav)
Turd Place: RVA – Steel Horsemen (Dennis, Sean, Ian)

Jake from Richmond – helped hold his team in 5th with great play all around
Nick from Boston! Wooooo! He rocks! Too many amazing plays to list them all.
