I really dont understand anyone when they discuss, "new players will be discouraged" / "Isnt it going to have a negative affect on new players..." / "dosnt swiss rounds mean that less experience players get spanked by better teams and therefore discourage them from entering tournaments..."
WHo are these fucking pussies? I don't think they exist. These hordes of discouraged beginners and lesser players that never come back because bike polo has been too mean to them. Those that left the court in floods of tears, because shock horror they lost a game of bike polo and they came along to be encouraged not beaten dammit!
A coach will pick the best team, if you dont think you'll get court time, dont sign up. The coach and court time really has nothing to do with this whole whiney argument for inclusivity and development and encouragement that rears its head again and again, from swiss rounds debates to first to 5, to NS tourneys and bench minors. This is bike polo, these are tournaments. this is supposed to be about skill and stamina, turn up, play, win lose or draw, play better next time. #bikepolonotbedwetting
Everyone pick a coach, let them pick a team it's simple! the coach can determine your court time not a frigging score card!
