The best opportunity to decide the best 6 teams in the UK is to take the top 6 from MCR. There will be no other opportunity for similar national representation of polo before the deadline. So if the 6 are to be decided by playing polo, it should be at MCR (IMO, of course, as is all of this post). If not then there's the vote option, though a whole new can of worms is opened up in terms of who is eligable to vote. This is the world championships! The best 6 teams should be there, and I don't think we should be shy to say that if you have not started playing polo yet, then chances are you are not going to be in the top 6, so excluding teams which have not yet formed really should not stall this process.
There simply aren't enough spots to divide up into regions, since there are more polo playing communities than the 6 available places. The best way to decide between these communities is by playing competitive polo, hence why MCR should be where it's all at.
