The Name
Though Hardcourt Bike Polo game play has more in common with hockey than traditional polo, the word "polo" is used because the players sit atop of a moving object and strike the ball with mallets. "Hardcourt", "Urban Bike Polo" and simply "Bike Polo" are other variations used by players and the press.

Famous quotes containing the words the name, the and/or name:
“The name of the slough was Despond.”
—John Bunyan (1628–1688)
“The indications are that swearing preceded the development of cursing. That is, expletives, maledictions, exclamations, and imprecations of the immediately explosive or vituperative kind preceded the speechmaking and later rituals involved in the deliberate apportioning of the fate of an enemy. Swearing of the former variety is from the lips only, but the latter is from the heart. Damn it! is not that same as Damn you!”
—Ashley Montagu (b. 1905)
“What is it? a learned man
Could give it a clumsy name.
Let him name it who can,
The beauty would be the same.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
