There are two kinds of polo on bikes. We play hardcourt bike polo, using "Little Beirut" rules tailored to DC.
To play, just show up on Thursday with a bike, preferably one you don't mind getting dinged up. We have mallets, and everyone is welcome.
Basic rules:
- Don't be a dick.
- You can only score with the ends of your mallet head.
- If your foot touches the ground, ride immediately to center court and tap the wall before playing on.
- Some contact is allowed: mallet to mallet, bike to bike, body to body.
- No t-boning, no contact with hands, don't throw your mallet. This may be the bush league but don't play like it.
- See rule #1.
Everything else you'll pick up while you play.
