You of all people know that everyone here takes polo waay too seriously. Thats kinda the problem. Go back and read the BFFCOMM threads? You still think the "level of slinging" is "unfathomable"?
Of course we do (although I dont see how explaining the rules is necessarily bitching). Go back and read the middle of this very thread, where we explained about teams and subs to Heythrop at the start of the season when none of them had played before. You can use this handy link to Jono's explanation and the discussion that followed it.
Sure, you can argue that its not specifically written in the rules this year. However, theres a ton of things that arent in there because theyre so fucking basic that none of us thought to include them. How many years have we had a league? And we still have to specify what constitutes a "team"? Whats really interesting about the above link is that, even though its not "written in the rules", everyone just read it and agreed with it because thats just how it works.
You know what? I'm disappointed for polo, because now we have to write this shit down for next year. More fucking rules. With another fucking rules poll or ten. Awesome.
