Tourney: EHBPC2010 Geneva Qualifiers 11.04.2010

the whole 'i would like a chance to play in the euros' argument is fairly moot to anyone who dosn't play in the league, go to tourneys in other places, play regularly, play on a serious basis or indeed have 2 other people to play with.
If you don't play on a serious basis than your 'chance' to play in the euros is slim. This isn't being non-inclusive, it's reality and called 'having a word with yourself' it's nice to have lots of teams in tournaments, but this is a tournament by default and is inclusive by default. Don't make it harder for 'those' however many, who think they do have a chance, just because you want to play in a 'tournament'.

Well now I feel bad about registering interest..

I know, maybe I should give up my hopes of being Kafkas' butler.

Seriously though I would love to play in the euros, and just because I am realistic about my chances does not mean (I do not think) that I should not try.

@ gabes -- are you bored? sick of it?

i was a little bored of the arguments for/against going around in circles, yes. as with many of these discussions, like all the euros stuff last year, it tends to go nowhere without a vote.

@roxy, yes, I am just the reporter to GVA, I'm also administering the forum, and have moved the LPC over to make it more noticeable/accessible. I am happy to setup polls, votes etc on how/when/who can qualify, I am not going to make any executive decisions, it's not my place, everything I say is really just my opinion. I want everyone to feel that they had their say, and a chance to vote.

Now, everyone, go vote here, it's the first step, next we'll vote on the selection process and dates.

Top work Gabes, exactly why you were voted best person for the job!

There is now a poll for what system the qualifications will use

please vote.

Given that the Euros are a high standard, high pressure two day knock-out tournament, the most appropriate way to choose the teams (if we do want to choose 4 London teams to do well) would be a high-pressure, high-standard one or two day knock-out tournament.

totally agree

Just for clarity, 5 or 6 people messaged me or expressed interested in the place I registered as a hypothetical team. Wayne added himself after telling me he couldn't travel to European tournaments this summer which has confused me. The lineup is totally up in the air as far as I'm concerned.

The reason I added myself to the team list was that I couldn't play a euro game that clashed with the Paris Roubaix event, this doesn't seem to clash with that so I was up for it,

ho-hum…

no dates yet for the Euros, just saying, but most probably to be in July

This thread is clashing with my hair appointment in 2013.

polo will be dead by 2013.

no, just another mainstream sport, take over by Nike, Adiads and Puma

once Nike take over.

ha ha rik!

....the idea of having a team play their games BEFORE the rest of the teams (knowing results of other games can lead to stitch-ups between teams).

what do you mean?

Gabes, i cant vote for some reason.

can you even see the thread?

You're not a member of the LPC, did you not see the Announcement or thread about this?

go here https://www.lfgss.com/profile.php?do=editusergroups

and request access the LPC and i'll let you in.

sorry, thought i had.
have now.

everyone who wants to play in the quallys should make their day/2days free. Deal with it.

+1

If you cant commit remove your name from the list and lay off a bit of slack for other teams that are committed. Whatever the final decision is i'm gonna try my hardest to be there.

+1

Life = Polo = Life

I completly agree with Brendan and Bill

+1

I <3 Brendan.
I stalked him on oxford street earlier then ran into an alley to touch myself.

^ em touching himself:

Have you seen his 4th nipple?

moves over to the spotted thread*

boy, that geneva tourney is gonna be hella tough. would love it if a london team can bring back the bacon. finding a system of who shall go is no easy task. but wouldn't it be that stupid if london doesn't send its best team cos of the tricky logistics/polotics this side?

is there anyone reading this comment that doesn't know to which team i am referring?
