your use of colourful post-graduate language is fumbling my understanding of your question..Geneva? canton?
Pesonally.
As someone who feels confident playing with/against some of the more experienced players in the league but who realises they they have more improving to do I find that I have to push myself, physically and tactically each time i play a more experienced league team. Every goal I score feels like a little victory and it makes me want to push my game play even harder.
Team wise.
Playing as one of the new teams in the league this year, who have only played together for a total of 7fixtures (technically 5 as 2 we had subs) and currently sit at the bottom of the table. I feel like i have learnt so much by having to play the more experienced teams. Each match makes us work more fludidly together and think tachtically in a defensive way as well offensivly. We progress as a unit each game and although it could be argued that the table speaks for itself i think we have had some awesome games and have improved both as a team and as polo players because of being a new team.
I think if there was a slipt in the league (ie devisions like i football) then there will be very clear devide between the more experienced teams and newer teams...and the risk arrises that any movement of players between seasons will happen within those devisions. I don't think this is a major concern right now anyway...if the laegue booms then maybe its something to be considered at a later date but this whole conversation is very pre-emptive.
I dunno i've been up too long, my head hurts...im giong to go write my dissertation.
