• There are far fewer times in polo where you reverse your bike... so the intent is much easier to see (as opposed to deliberately forcing a player off their bike when moving forwards).

    As a ref you're calling a t-bone as opposed to a block (or check), there's loads to consider:

    • Who has possesion?
    • What was the intent of each player?
    • Were both players looking up/being observant?
    • Were the lines of play observed (was an exit point given)?
    • Was the contact incidental are who initiated it?
    • Etc...
