What happened in philly is not representative of most tournaments in the states! Those were the worst tournament courts most of us had ever seen.
Thing is, when two courts are separated, it makes things difficult. i think that each court requires a full-time person (you would call them "whips", right?) to do the communications between courts and make sure everything is working out--we didn't even have cell phone contact this weekend between courts. Despite that, there was fairly little lag time between games, and what there was was filled with a couple throwins that are so essential at tournaments. A few unnecessary trips back and forth for a few people for sure unfortunately.
Overall i had a great weekend, awesome polo despite the small and uneven courts, great atmostphere.
Ray, Horatio, and the rest of BAD, i may forgive you someday for not showing up.
