Polo Rules

( if i remember in 2009 you get an assistant and no door cause the court were plastic road thing easy to jump off. so it was easier to enforce.)

You think my idea of make a player stay at tap out point before opponents cross line is a bad idea? I mean there is a lot of situation where 30 second didnt apply (incidental mallet under wheel ) but where ball turn over didn't give a real advantage back, don't you think?

2009 was the first Euros, held here in London. No timekeepers or score-keepers.

I don't think it's a bad idea (FWIW, I like it, although it does sound a lot like double tap-outs, which were got rid of because they were difficult to monitor), I guess I think we don't use what we have, so adding something else make refs more likely to enforce rules.

Would refs use this more? I don't think they would. (I should mention that I haven't reffed since LO last year, but I doubt that much has changed). The prevailing culture in bike polo is that refs don't want to get shouted at by the 'big' players or piss anyone off. In my opinion, this ia why rules aren't enforced, not because refs can't figure out what to do with a binned player.
