I think Tim's is a salient point, as found out in the tournament, when playing competitively, I really don't like to lose, and will try to manufacture any advantage I can. I've always been taught to play sport that way, and I'm not going to treat polo any different. I can handle performing a 'dick move' if it means not conceding a goal in a competitive match.
So it raises the point of defining the two days: Wednesday and Sunday as Serious/friendly. Or define individual games on each day serious/friendly.
I'm happy to ref games when I'm there, as I feel more confident with my knowledge of the rules, and calling things against people I play with (not like that!)...
