We all want to keep polo as inclusive as possible, yet there are also committed teams who want to play competitive polo at a high level. This can only be achieved by having seeded tournies based on qualifications.
There are so many regional, european and global tournies which are open to all, so i personally still want 1 euro tourney a year (The Euros) which references the best teams at that given time, which a team has to work towards to become a part of...rather than entry be on a first registered first in policy.
If we have regional qualies + a wild card tourney within the euros format, that keeps things inclusive yet the best teams should still shine through.
A place of origin is given to a team based on the residency of atleast 2 players at time of qualification/registration and again atleast 2 of the original qualified players have to be present on the team for the finals or team loses spot and it goes down to next highest ranked team from the place of qualified origin.
