Discretionary power, yes I agree to that but the refs were NA and head ref was East Van so obviously their discretion falls on the physical side.
'pushing with the hands is not permitted', that's the only thing in that ruleset that applies (unless I'm reading an out of date one). Forearms etc, who knows if that's allowed. The infamous 'buffer zone' quote has blurred everything.
Agree with James, you don't have to subscribe to their style, hopefully next year EU style will dominate and NA style will be shown to be unsuccessful.
The teams that win tournaments dictate how polo evolves, we are very lucky that L'Equipe have dominated Europe.
