I think team thor and that team from belfast (if they play) would have a good chance of top 10
Subtlest diss of Asbo yet. Bully.

Remember how Cambridge was seeded?
Yep, it was unfair to a few good teams. But i'm just going off the standard of polo i saw from both London teams and the roe teams.
Seeding is completely bias, it favours stronger teams. If there is one big tourney should it be seeded so better teams get an easy route to the euros? Logically this is not dissimilar to splitting london/rouk apart from it providing rouk with a better platform to enter the euros.

haha! So some of these teams put forward by LDN to Ale aren't even formed yet?
Heh, I didn't give you a comprehensive list, just a list of teams that can beat Netto most days of the week. All of the teams that went to Ale are existing (ie: training) London League teams.
Seeding is completely bias
Umm, not really, but fingers crossed a RR format (everyone plays everyone) or similar could be used... no winging then.

Not sure about Otters, but I don't think you can describe B_D as unformed.

Man, this is going to go on and on....

No shit. This is London polo. It takes our team 100 emails to figure out which pub to go to.

I'd put money on ASBO beating l'quiche any day of the week.
£20 says the eggs would beat the thugs.

Ok, I'm bowing out... how about if the conversation continues publicly with the 6 scene reps? Or whatever, have a talk amongst yourselves (you all got each others emails from my email) and give us a way forward?

PS, Gambling is for fools.
SSsh. I want to earn some money here.

If it's just those scenes we're talking about, I think we've pretty much voiced our opinions and had as much discussion as is necessary.
The difficult thing is organising a vote. We don't even know what we're voting on!
1st vote - mega tournament, city split by size (eg 6 for London 1 each for everyone else) or London/ROUK split with two qualifier tournaments?
2nd vote - location/date of tournament(s).
3rd(!) vote - format of tournaments? Not sure if this stage would be necessary.

Joined up thinking....
Two Euro qualification tourneys - one for LDN (6 slots) and one for RoUK (4 slots) - crucially, eligibility for these tourneys is on the basis that the team is commiited to being able to go to Spain.
The six/four split future-proofed/remains for 2012 to allow regional rerpesentative panel to mature and give greater opportunity for regions to set their goals going forward.
LDN hosts on LDN exclusive qualification tourney.
The RoUK Euros tourney may well be smaller than the LDN - therefore run an open tourney alongside/simultaneously, thus bringing alive my point about national inclusion (not just playing...) at every possible step (even if your team is not good enough to qualify). Encourages other teams/fledgling organisers/new refs/WAGs etc. to get together and provide atmsophere, audience and participation in a positive, pro-Euro/Worlds activity. Hey - even LDN teams could enter the open tourney for the practice... ;-)
A joint CBR/MCR production would make a lot of sense for the RoUK event, as would re-using the universally accepted indoor court at Cambridge.

No-one knows for sure. One of them will take on Ali I imagine (my old teammate who's been polo training in the US, he's inherited Dusty's backhand irritatingly), Lebowski's looking too. Em/Aidan/Ray may return to polo? They may pick up a sub or steal a player from another team, etc? You should volunteer your skills and forget about Manchester polo Chan, just look at Snoops, he's laughing now.
