I don't feel like you insinuated anything. I guess that's the problem with pictures, they can be misinterpreted.
As for the vote though, I think we should have gone with what Clement said. Doesn't matter how many people signed that initial list (in which it never said anything about being definitive), London would have still gotten the same amount of places.
This is just London's community making itself exclusive for the sake of it. For me it's not whether I play or not, it's what kind of community I'm a part of. People who wanted to play in the tournament because they think it might be fun or because it's one more time for them to play polo, or because it gives them a chance to form a team, were actually discouraged here and I think that's sad and the wrong road for us to take. In fact, I think those are the best reasons to play polo ever; Much better reasons than because you might beat all the other teams.
No harm would have come out of us letting whoever wants to play. There's no good reason not to let everyone in, and nearly 50% of the people who bothered to vote agree.
