Polo Rules

Another one, again important with the time constraints. In some tournaments, if you aren't there for your scheduled game, it's forfitted. Generally I take a more flexible approach, if another game is ready I start that one, and give the teams a chance to get back to the court, until it can't be delayed further.

I'm happy to retain that approach, from an organiser point of view, as long as we have a game on court, that's the main thing.

But we still may reach a point where a game has to be played. How are we going to handle that? The (old) NAH rules have a 1 penalty goal every 2 minutes rule. I don't think we have a specific rule. Do we award a win to a team that is there? How many goals? What if neither team are there? A draw?

Remember that goal difference may affect things.

London League Rules on forfeits, and no grace period at all. If you're not there at the scheduled time, it's a forfeit. There really is no excuse for not showing up on time.
