Tourney: EHBPC2010 Geneva Qualifiers 11.04.2010

Wow Skoota, when did you become such a hater? I understand your sentiment but that sentiment goes against everything that's great about polo compared to mainstream sports. Fuck the odds!! Long live the underdog!!! If a new team makes your chances harder than that's what polo's about! Great games come from the unexpected and London should be celebrating it's larger community, playing in tournaments is the best way to learn to play in tournaments! By your logic you shouldn't have gone to the Worlds because your chance of winning was so bad. How would you have felt if someone had shot you down like you just did to these guys?
Where has the love gone?

If you don't play on a serious basis than your 'chance' to play in the euros is slim. This isn't being non-inclusive, it's reality and called 'having a word with yourself' it's nice to have lots of teams in tournaments, but this is a tournament by default and is inclusive by default. Don't make it harder for 'those' however many, who think they do have a chance, just because you want to play in a 'tournament'.

TBF i've said something very similar. Probably not as blatant. Polo love still exists.

I dont see why this should be an attack on B. I think he's one of the first people to encourage new people to play (see the south thread). And as the numbers show the community sit 50/50 with this. This is no easy decision. shit just checked its 50/50. I voted against and im not at all scared of saying so.
