Vote NO on proposition 6!

Fellow London polo players, please go here and vote no. This must win by more than a just a few votes to not be contentious.

Even if you're not playing in the league, this could still possibly (yes it's an unknown) affect your chance, or anybody else's chance that is not playing in the league, of playing in the ehbpc 2010.

+1

-1

just let people vote how they want to vote

People that are not playing in the league are possibly ignoring the polls and this could possibly affect them.

so tell them about the poll rather posting a "vote NO" thread.

I'd also disagree with your point about it affecting the chances of other teams trying to qualfy for the euros. The team that wins the league would be a pretty safe bet for qualifing for euro's via a tourney. So wether you give them a spot or not means that there will still be the same amount of slots for the other teams.

As a note, i don't expect BAD to win the league v2

There is a good argument that the league should be completely separate from the EHBPC, because the league starts a year before the EHBPC and there will be many new teams ready to play a qualifying tourney for the Euros.

We will have a qualifier, why not just use that and keep the league separate?

you have here , 16 people dont think the opposite

you have here , 16 people dont think the opposite

"don't think the opposite" = think the same

thanks for the correction, but you know what I mean, and by now they are 17

I can't see the point of starting a thread, that can be read by anyone on the forum, that links to something that can not be read.
Am I missing something?

;888391']the vote is in the L.P.C. sub-forum which is restricted to London hardcourt bike polo players ONLY.

fixed

It's just polotics - all will become clear.

@Rik I know that. The question was; Why start a thread that wasn't?

this is very democratic

@ fruitbat - social group forums are not very visible for a normal login.
It generally requires a reminder like this or PMs to give everyone a heads-up that there is something to read / do over there.

Normally in the democratic process, any lobbying for propositions, referenda and the like is against the law!

Fair point, but do we need 3 public treads to do that?

This is a shambles. I'm starting a revolutionary opposition party. Who wants to be part of my militia?

Whatever happened to the Popular People's Front of Bike Polo?

Viva the Polo-ista Malitia

Consider me the guy outside the poll handing out 'vote no' badges. You can bin them if you want. (and i have nothing to do with the league this year apart from being a player, and if I recall correctly the league is owned by the players and this is one point I feel pretty strongly about.)

Not at all! That's my point. Just because for the ehbpc 2009, which was in London, bowed to the request of the London community* to go back on it's word to the European community and allow an *extra *spot for it's own league winners after the delegated 4 london spots were decided by a qualification tourney does not mean that whoever hosts the ehbpc 2010 will do the same. Therefore if there is a cap per city, one of those precious spots will be taken by the league winners who may or may not even be together as a team - the repercussion of this could be the possibility of a split up team at the time if a league winning player is on a different team come ehbpc time and decides to get together with the rest of the league winning team who may have not played together for months...

*and if people will remember the London community went back on it's own word after voting that no team could automatically qualify for the ehbpc for any reason.
