Pre-Play-off Discussion on Reffing; Call for Refs to Meet

Some people, Bill e.g., have a heavy-handed approach, thinking that refs should be heavily involved in calling any and all possible violations of the rules, with a very broad interpretation of what constitutes a violation. Others, like me, think that refs should only step in when there is an egregious violation.

Not true. I am happy not call a foul at all during a match, and, in fact, did not during many EHBPC games. On the other hand, some games need early intervention - it demonstrates to the players that fouls will be punished - with the ultimate objective of seeing a clean, fast, skilful game of polo. Polo not penalties, is my motto.
