Thinking of going to Berlin for WHBPC? Fill out a pre-registration survey.

Submitted by kev on Mon Mar 1, 2010, 03:03pm

There is room for 64 teams at World Hardcourt Bike Polo Championships in Berlin August 13-15 this year. But before deciding who is eligible, Stefan asked me to create a survey to get a better sense of the interest. And because it's still a way's off, a lot of people don't know their teams yet. This survey can either be filled out by a team member, representing a team, or by a player who does not know what team they're on.

Deadline has passed.

LOBP aka dot-ca is my way of taking polo too seriously. But maintaining it, killing off spammers, fixing bugs, answering emails, etc, can be a real time-suck, time i would otherwise spend actually making a living. I've also sunk a couple hundred dollars into hosting and other fixed costs over the last couple years, and soon i'll be moving to a more expensive, dedicated server with better performance.

I'd like to avoid placing advertisements on the site, if possible, as many of you have requested. If i do bring in ads in the future, they will be by companies who have demonstrated supported of bike polo through innovation or sponsorship of tournaments etc. But I'm hoping you all can help keep the site ad-free at least for the short/medium term.

So if you've found this site useful, consider kicking down $10 or more. I'll earmark it to my polo travel fund, or to help me replace my dying laptop. Any support is appreciated!

LOBP v2 beta ... updates to the site

Submitted by kev on Wed Jan 20, 2010, 06:01pm

What's up everyone.

I finally found some time to upgrade www.leagueofbikepolo.com. At first the plan was just to upgrade the code but keep the design and functionality, but i started to add some new tools and then i felt the layout didn't fit and one thing lead to another. So there are lots of new things going on, and a few design and functionality changes in the pipeline.

Changes

New design, though it's kinda half-baked at this point.

New homepage that's more friendly to the public. I'll be promoting some forum topics and tournament announcements to the homepage.

Forums

No longer on the homepage.
More focus on regional/club forums to help facilitate things like NA Hardcourt and regional projects like EHBPC, an Australian forum, etc.
Much better listing of recent threads.
"All topics" view for those who sit around refreshing all day. This view excludes off-topic stuff by default.
Ability to mark all posts as read.
Each comment displays author's groups etc.
Coming back soon, for better or worse: the x2 button.
