London Bike Polo League II (winter 2009/2010)

Would it not be sensible to start 2 weeks later so that the BFF is out of the way?

Right, we'll change a) and b) to:

b) That we start the league on the week of Sept 28;
c) That we close team registration on Sept 21.

thanks Matt!

yah good stuff!

youse lot don't even know about my tournament yet...

Nicely done.

Can we have an earlier start (Sep 1) a compromise (Sep 14) and a later start (Sep 28) and then vote on it. I would prefer an earlier start to the league.

I'd like an earlier start too, maybe we could have a week hiatus for the bff?

A 1-day tournament needn't delay the league beginning by a fortnight.

Sounds good. I'll include starting dates in the post. Barring any objections, I'll make the deadline for team registration 1 week before the start of the league.

earlier star please, I cant wait to star the shit talking and the proper polo

hey it seams like abz are disbanding due to life the universe and that
so if anyone still needs a team mate and dont shudder at the thought of playing with me
i need a new team for the league
(I know there was a thread for this someplace but its lost in time)

Can someone explain what a triple fixture is. Is it 3 games in a week?

Earlier start ftw.
pls.

Can someone explain what a triple fixture is. Is it 3 games in a week?

The idea was to have 3 tetams meet up, and play their fixtures against each other in one day/eve.

A vs B
A vs C
B vs C

It my be impossible to get that done in an evening unless we have timed games.

Can we begin September 1st?

poll? a poll you have to pay to be able to vote on?

No representation without taxation.

I'd like an earlier start but wont be back in London until 6th September.
If we have a week to play each fixture, starting Sept 1st is good for me.
Looking forward to this.

snap +1

Can we begin September 1st?

+1. And can we have the whole fixture list published? With the proviso that fixtures must be played in dates specified?

I'd prefer a mid September start but it looks like the general consensus is to start early so I guess we can just get a sub for the first one or two games.

Would it be possible to start early, but have a bit of extra time to play the first few fixtures too? (I think this is a good idea while the two BFFs are going on too...)

You can make up any missed fixtures so long as the games are played before the end of the league.

Are we doing weekly fixture windows?

I may be making rods for my team's backs here, but given the hassle that was caused last year by postponed fixtures, I think that fixtures should only be postponed in EXCEPTIONAL circumstances.

agree, don't want teams making a habit of it and building up a shed load to play in the last couple of weeks.

Maybe have a set number of times that games can be postponed past the allotted time? 3?

I thought the only real problem was the teams that were not 100% committed?

There is always going to be a week when not all 6 players can get together, so I'd like to agree with Tom : 'You can make up any missed fixtures so long as the games are played before the end of the league'.

Releasing all fixtures in advance is a great idea though.
