Lexington Bike Polo league forms

Sunday, January 3rd marked the first day of league play for Lexington Bike Polo. Tiffany Morrow announced the formation of a winter league series back in November, with players settling on a post-holidays startup date, and with Sundays being the designated for league play on one of the two courts at Coolavin Park.
Teams started forming shortly before the Holidays and some are still in the process of being formed, even though league play has officially begun. Many players are still filtering back into town from the Holiday break, and some are still working through injuries that were recently received.
In order to maintain a flexible playing schedule to account for weather and absences, league games are informally scheduled out each Sunday as teams are available. One substitute player is allowed for each team if not all team members are present. There were a total of six teams present for the first day of league play.

Chris Simpson: City Rep
Chris Simpson, formerly of Triple Lexxx though now with Lex Offendors, has been elected as a city representative for the Midwest Region of the League of Bike Polo. He will join regional representative and current Bluegrass State Games Commissioner of Bike Polo Brian Turner as they operate as a conduit to the larger national and international bike polo scenes.
Though Turner expressed support for Simpson, he also issued a stern challenge to the newly minted city representative and Dogtown owner. On a recent LexRides online forum, Turner told Simpson, “[I]f you want the 'Commissioner of Bike Polo' title, you'll have to arm-wrestle me for it.”
Turner had better watch out. Simpson's trademark move, as many know, is the reacharound, a trick that requires some serious wrist and forearm strength, not to mention endurance. It only stands to reason that Simpson would be well-prepared for that arm-wrestling match.

Bike Polo travels to St. Louis
Many Lexington Bike Polo players will be heading to the Saint Louis Dead of Winter Indoor Lock-In, held on January 15-16. The Lock-In, held at a skating rink, is limited to 80 participants. Games to 10 minutes will be played all day and night, with 80% of the games being straight pick-up. Once an hour, a distributed lottery will determine who plays. The Lock In also features “quiet rooms" to roll out a sleeping pad are provided for anyone wanting to get some sleep at some point.
