Winter League III

i love playing polo i have no need to be motivated, i just dont like having to play a game when its pissing down or icy. It dosnt reflect a true competitive game. plus starting a little later means we will undoubtedly get more teams in the league.

B, just polo motivates me too...but if the weather is poor outside and i know i have to make a fixture it will make me commit even more to playing.

However, if the weather really puts one off from playing, its possible to arrange fixtures under better conditions even during winter. Even last year with a lot of snow and rain, I only remember 1 of our fixtures that was really effected by bad weather and that was against beards on a flooded mitch. Other than that we just dealt with it.

For cosmic this summer was filled with way more competitive tournies than last year (almost felt every other week)...personally i think it would have been hard to fit a full league season in there too. We all need a little bit of a polo breather.

But if we can get the league going from sept - april latest with a 2 - 3 week xmas/new year break, it would be a good seasons length.

Re. new teams forming, waiting till after the summer for the league to start makes sense as it means most new players have had a summer of throwins and sub team tournies to get a bit up to polo speed + old teams have broken up. Now and September is the transfer window.
