a.) Introduction

Greetings :)

I am composing this notecard to proudly announce an upcoming polo tournament to be held at the Ponies from space competitive arena on Saturday September 2nd - commencing at 10am.

This polo tournament will be the first of its kind in its use of a newly developed aesthetically gorgeous field, that utilizes new mechanics and statistical recording. This will not be a stable centric tournament and is designed to encourage friends to team up and take to the field. Hopefully, with the players cooperation this will be a fun and memorable event in the true spirit of pony play.

Hopefully the theme (section b and c) and ruleset (section e) will add some flavor to the proceedings, furthermore all games will be video recorded and uploaded for viewing following the completion of the tournament, and heck a funky video montage to commemorate the games may also been an end goal.

Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 teams in what will be a knock out tournament. Depending on the amount of participants I may opt to stretch the tournament over the 2 day weekend but will announce that when registration closes on Wednesday the 30th of August.

Due to us using a new field there will be a series of dates listed below (section f) detailing practice sessions being regularly held up until the tournament.

Prizes will be provided to all participants, please see below for a sneak preview of the ribbons, certificates and trophies we have had made specifically for this tournament.
ô€€…

Finally there will be a method of applying as a solo player and we will help find you a team mate if required.

I sincerely hope to see as many ponies as possible opt to participate in what should be a unique tournament.

b.) Team Creation

To inject some flavor into proceedings this little tournament will adopt animal themed teams. Below in section c is a list of various animals, when registering your team please select 3 of those, an option a, an option b and an option C. Animal themes will be given to teams based on a first come first serve basis with option a being your preferred choice.
Example : Team 1 selects a - The Lions, b - The Tigers, c- The Bears
Team 2 selects a - The Lions, b - The Peacocks, c - The Sparrows.
Team 1 registers first and would be assigned The Lions, team 2 would be assigned The Peacocks.

Though thematic tack isn't required it is encouraged, and I sincerely hope to see The Hedgehogs battle The Lions in a dramatic grand finale.
