North American Bike Polo Championship Results

    For those of you who hadn't watched bikepolo.tv for the last few days; you've missed some excellent bike polo. Thanks to Minneapolis for putting on a great event and bikepolo.tv for presenting it non-stop to those who couldn't make it up there.
    Here is a soft list from Podium of the top 18 teams and their respective win/loss standings. There are a few results not assigned from the last couple of winner bracket finals; but I'm sure that NAH will have final results in a couple of days.

W/L/T Δ G
1) Beavers 10/0/0 +33 42
2) The Guardians 8/2/0 +22 40
3) The Assassins 7/3/0 +9 35
4) The Breaknecks 7/3/0 +8 34
5) Bill Murray 6/2/2 +16 39
6) Mosquito 6/2/2 +9 36
7) The Control 6/3/1 +15 38
8) The Means 5/2/3 +11 39
9) Big Country 6/4/0 +4 32
10) Thunder Buddies 6/4/0 +4 31
11) the Makers Y'all 5/4/1 +5 28
12) Polo Bred Piranhas 5/4/1 +2 30
13) Magic Toast 5/4/1 -1 32
14) The Greens 5/5/0 +6 30
15) White Fang 5/5/0 +0 30
16) Los Cuatreros 4/5/1 +1 28
17) Team Ginyu Force 4/6/0 -4 27
18) Ghost Wolves 3/7/0 -10 29

     In the final game the Guardians beat the Beavers 5-2 which had its share of unbelievable bike handling, ball control, defensive/offensive plays, and good old fashioned rivalry; everything that makes a superb championship game.
    But it wasn't over. Due to double elimination tournament rules (and the Beavers being previously undefeated), it meant that the Guardians had to beat the Beavers twice to take it all.
    The final game took a different turn, the Beavers took complete control and defeated the Guardians 5-0, sealing the championship and the NAHCBP title for 2013. Congrats to the Beavers on another North American title!
