Winter League III

Wot PiQuE said (further up). Keep it simple.

Look at the flier BDW put together for the East Festival, condensing the rules into 4 points. It's often said that one of bike polo's best points is its simplicity, why mess about with it?

Just to try something new, to see how it goes?

Football is a completely different game to polo - why stick to its scoring system?
(I'm not strongly disagreeing with you on this, just more playing devil's advocate)

Rules change as games develop, happens with football, rugby, etc.

For a small thing like a festival you obviously can simplify it to get new people involved. But for leagues and tourneys and stuff, you might want/need more rules. If you'd shown this to someone in London five years ago, they'd probably wonder what the fuck was going on...
