  • Many people see the crease as a failed experiment (too hard to ref, requires extra court markings and doesn't stop blocking plays).

    90% of polo rules are 'too hard to ref'. If that's what it's about we should just fall back on 'don't be a dick'. All sports have rules that are hard to enforce by even professional refs, but which are generally abided by. Furthermore, if there is an actual rule then maybe offending teams/players will listen to the reverberating heckles of non-partisan hecklers rather than stand by their totally legal style.

    A bit of spray paint is fine for court marking IMO, although I suppose it causes problems with landowners.

    Blocking plays I'm not so bothered about in isolation so I'll let someone else argue about those*.

    Will there be a crease at the LO again? I'm all for it.

    If Neil's up for it, it must be right.
