Agree with Max about the boards. Obviously it would depend on budget restraints, but it would be amazing if you could build separate tournament courts with no netting. Personally, I think this sort of thing really needs to be geared towards really exhibiting polo and getting people excited about it. I think we could learn some lessons from things like trials demos and have a commentator/announcer explaining rules/plays/giving matches context/involving the crowd. Perhaps even having dedicated exhibition matches? You want people to say “I don’t want to go home, I want to watch the bike polo at 4pm.”
The structure of the public sessions seemed to work really well (and I might not have been paying enough attention here...) but I didn’t see too much info around about where/when to play in Sheffield?
