Polo Rules

It was 1966. Let it go...nobody else here is old enough to remember anyway :)

I think with cones theres always going to be a margin of interpretation. Its about whether we want to dispute goals over the location of an imaginary crossbar as well as the location of imaginary extended posts, which is why I tend to prefer infinity.

If we're going to agree on,say, shoulder height, should we have an agreed standard shoulder? Or can I get a dwarf on a bike, put them in goal and use them as a reference? I'm not against an agreed maximum height, as long as we're prepared for the inevitable arguments that come with judging that..

Incidentally, I think actual goalposts is a really interesting idea..Im not sure theyre practical for every pickup/league game though so I think we need to agree on some rules for the cones...

alot of sports that have cross bars introduced them so to stop the gollies being injured by hard balls to the head, then the sizes changed as protective equipment improved or was worn and the difficulty of scoring became more of a concern.
