We’d like to congratulate Brian, Joey, Eric and their sub Chris on their 3rd year as North American Champions!
A big thank you to MPLS Bike Polo and all of the volunteers who contributed this weekend.
We heard the live stream was amazing! Thanks Mr Do Video!
The top 12 clubs were announced for the Bench Championship this fall, but will be posted as they are confirmed.

Once teams have qualified, they must register for the NAHBPC to be able to compete.
Registration will use Podium, and can be found here: https://www.podiumbikepolo.com/register/nahbpc2014
Any teams who have not yet qualified will be rejected, and will need to re-register if and when they do qualify.
Registration will be $123 per team ($41 per player). Of this $120 will go to the NAHBPC organisers, with the rest covering transaction fees.
All teams must be successfully registered and paid for by Sat 21st June. After this any regions not using their full quota will lose their slots, and have them reallocated to other regions.
Regional slots will be allocated to the top teams at their qualifier. To claim those slots at least ⅔ of the players in the team at the qualifier must register for the NAHBPC. In the event a team choses not to take their slot, it will pass down to the next team in the qualifier (with the same ⅔ rule). Where two teams have the same finishing position in the elimination, the highest finishing position from the swiss rounds will be the deciding factor.
If none of the existing teams can claim the slot, then a team formed of at least 2 players who played in the qualifier can apply to their regional rep to take the slot. Priority will be given to teams who have the highest placed player at the qualifier.
As results from each region come in, they will be posted here. Please check back after each qualifier to see which teams are currently eligible to register for NAHBPC 2014.
