My last weekend in North America was in Las Vegas at a bike polo tournament called Crank Gamble 3. The tournament was a 19 team tourney and took place on Saturday and Sunday. My team was called Freewheel Burning and my teammates were Dutchmaster(San Diego/Utrecht) and Chris(Los Angeles). On the Saturday we played alright for three players with no experience playing with each other. We rounded off the day in the middle of the pack... 10th place.
Day two was where it matters most, the double elimination round. We started off with a really hard fraught game, clawing our way back from 3-0 down to win the game 4-3 in overtime against Vegas's best. We were knocked out of the winners bracket by The Control(San Francisco) and had to proceed through the losers bracket.
In the end we were paired up against a team from San Francisco and lost out to place a very respectable 5th place in the tournament.
It was a great weekend of polo(sorry there is nothing about Vegas... I didn't really do anything except polo).
Thank you to the sponsors New Belgium Brewing! And a big thanks to Vegas Bike Polo and my buddy Brandon(we would have won best hecklers of the weekend if that was such a prize)
