Thanks John.
Just to re-iterate what John has said..
Basically we want to take all of the teams in the UK and rank them all in the fairest way possible. So it's an open tournament with as much RR as will allow. 20 teams, 2 courts, 2 days is possible. If the number of teams is up near 30 then it will be split into group stages and some HBomb wizardry will ensue. Everyone will be allowed the chance to qualify for the euros and most teams will get more games than a swiss/double elim format. The teams that qualify but can't go to the euros will give their spot to the next team down the rankings.
The UK champ will be decided in a small single elim, and most likely (TBC) this single elim will not change the qualification rankings.
Whatever the case it's going to be a great weekend packed with polo for all.
As Josh mentioned we would really appreciate some help Friday and Sunday evenings with setup and clean up, as the area needs to be cleared for the school kiddies on Monday. (Friday is a school holiday)
