Important poll for Global Polo

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdIDIZP7OzSvUjxiND3URKer9gMRVVGy1uHebaP86VYiAqnSw/viewform

EHBA announced a couple of days ago to host a 3v3 euros. There has been some controversy over this as since last year's worlds Australasia, North America and Latin America have made movements to organising major tournaments in squad format.

The French committee released this poll to see what the global community prefers as the format for major tournaments (i.e. Euros, Worlds etc...)

3v3 for life... ;)

I dont think there's an organic move towards squad - most were just doing it to prep for the worlds and yeah the reason for switching to squad last year was flawed (sponsors? What sponsors? HD steam? What HD?) and this was against the majority in the poll which decided for 3v3.

Many scenes just aren't big enough to support the squad format: you need at least two groups of five players who don't mind playing on the same team as each other, you need minimum 10 turnout for a training session, you need courts with multiple doors.
