It's almost impossible not to incidentally obstruct people in bike polo, I can't see the difference between man-marking and obstruction when you consider how poor our bikes are at manoeuvring (compared to feet), especially now so many people have gone back to 700...
I think we're still years away from making accurate calls off the ball. I think it's silly to create rules that we can't ref. I agree that the game everyone's talking about sounds great (sick passing plays, no turtling), but perhaps we need to rethink how to achieve that.
