About Hardcourt Bike Polo

Hardcourt Bike Polo is played by two teams of three players on a smooth and hard surfaced floor. Players ride their bicycles with sticks called “mallets” in order to strike a ball into their opponents' goal. Any type of bicycle is allowed with a few limitation such as no shape edges. Recently Hardcourt Bike Polo has been gaining more and more attention as the hottest urban sport because of the growing player numbers and an international community forming.

ということでOSAKA POLO FES.と同日（時差はあるけど）にユトレヒトで開催されるポロ大会のご紹介。オーガナイズはEHVFXDのタカ君。この大会、ベネルクス三カ国では最大の自転車展示会のイベントとして開催されます。（日本でいうとサイクルモードの公式イベントとしてポロ・トーナメントやるって感じでしょうか。）

日本からも欧州武者修行中のアーサーがエントリーしています。（ちなみに余談ですがアーサー、今週末のBFF Londonのトーナメントにも出場します。）
