The next California Classic has already been planned.  It is listed on the ISPA calendar as an unsanctioned event.  It is on March 27th.  I am not sure if the organizers for the California Classic would object to you using the name.  You could ask them.  Why not have a Sacramento Classic?  I will try and Calender all sanctioned and non-sanctioned events as a service to the community so we don't double book things.

Good idea!  It was a real shame when the Boston folks had their event so close to the Woz Cup this year.  But as I remember the Boston folks only planned a couple months in advance (unlike the Woz Cup which gets planned easily 6 months in advance).

We'd be happy to host the next California Classic on our astroturf field up here in Sac.  The cost is about the same as Fairwood, and we can set up a charging station like in the 2009 Woz Cup.

It is confirmed we are playing the California Classic Polo Tournament this Sat the 12th starting at 10am at Fairwood park.

Here is how it is going to work…
Anyone who wants to play (80+ lb. and 10+ yrs) and pays an entry fee of $15 (this is for shirts and field) put their name in the hat.
We then draw between 3 and 5 names per team (depending on number of participants) and they then come up with a name and decorate their colored t-shirts (t-shirts provide)
We will games based on the number of teams and the time we have to play. We plan on playing as many games as we can.

This is not an ISPA sanctioned event.

We're interested in people of any experience level, and we can assist (possibly even supply) you in getting equipment to the various polo matches around the country.  This is an excellent chance for someone who'd like to develop their polo skills quickly.  If you ever wanted to go to "polo boot camp", this team is what you're looking for.

But this offer is only good for a limited time...act quickly (preferably by the middle of July).  You can reply here if you're interested or send email to nmplo@hotmail.com .

ps - We'll consider ISPA membership later this summer if the team looks viable.

This team is forming only for the event, and I'm not sure if the event is ISPA sanctioned.  The goal of the event is not competition, but instead to introduce a wide variety of Europeans to the sport during their "Segfest".  Many of the attendees will be at Woz Cup the following week in Cologne, Germany.
