Polo team games

...

One mallet per team, mallet's lined up should work if we make it happen. We can keep the rotation a lot quicker that way. Next team is always ready to go. A simple left-to-right order should always work, no?

Ideally this would work, but lining the mallets up in the fence has never, ever worked. We tried it thursday, we've tried it loads of times at brick lane. People just don't pay attention, it takes just as long for somebody to realize who's game it is (after the previous game is already over), get their mallet, put down their beer, get their bike, round up their teammates, take a drink of beer, get on the court and wait for that last person who has some adjustment to make when they've had hours to do so!

One mallet per team shuffled in for each game works. This could all 3 teammates mallets and you only shuffle one out, that team is in. Or one designated mallet from a team is thrown in...

Winner stays on, max 3 consecutive games should work out really well.

It was the first time i'd seen the lining of the mallets in the fence - can we give it a try for a while? It can't be that hard once we all get used to it.

doesn't work, people are too busy talking shit and don't pay attention to the games.

Doesn't work like the league will never work?

people will get used to, we nedd to remind each other for the first couple of days.

also in the monent some time "lost" its spot in the line, people will be more aware

exactly, last week i didn't even know that's how it was working until later on, so we never got to play again, and BBC man stole the show, so we went to the pub and i drowned in addlestones (again).

you are above us, so yeah it didn't work. just like some teams being 6 weeks or 2-3 games behind

Is the peanut gallery getting rowdy?

I'm sure that the polo crew can be trained to put their mallets in order and follow that order.

If the on-deck team doesn't have their shit ready, go to the next mallet in the lineup.

+1

I'm cool with giving it a go. Maybe if we could put the mallets nearer the court so they're closer to people's attention span?
