    Is one of those poles for MCR one that didn't get picked up for me at Bristol? I ordered two but 'Russ only picked one up by accident, you guys haven't still got it have you?

    Cheers.

  • We are looking into changing to 35 min games and 5 swiss rounds. Unfortunately with 9 teams there will be a bye. (5 teams will have to sit out 1 round max each based on results). But we will see better matches and longer games! We will discuss it tonight and announce any changes via this thread and a mass email. The start and end times will not change. Any reasonable comments appreciated.

    5 rounds of Swiss is only 20 games. You've easily got time for 45 minute games, that's only 15 hours + stoppages + finals. According to your schedule you've got 18 hours.

    Yep, one of those is for you, sorry about that, it was my fault, I forgot 1 pole, and the other was cracked.

  • Not a bad idea to put a score limit on it, if you are 15 goals ahead the game ends or suttin? Or you give the losing team the choice of throwing in the towel. Would probably bork your nicely timed schedule though.

  • Games will END 6PM SUNDAY

  • John, I have PMed you the scheduling so you can see the time constraints.

    Goal limits go against the idea behind Bench Minor so we will stay unlimited.

  • Fair enough.

  • I haven't got a PM, Hayden.

  • Try now John.

  • I'm gonna get the mancs in yellow I think.

  • Cheers, Hayden, replied.

    40, not 45, is doable (given 5 minute changeovers).

  • London has consolidated into 1 team: Josh, Dave, Jono, Brendan, Bill, John. James is Captain.

  • dang. whys that?

  • Blimey what happened?! We got 40 minute games now

  • That's really too bad that there is only 1 London team. Most important for us is to get the UK together and play some games.

    Anyways, thanks to John H and Bogey plus your comments, we are now going to change to:

    5 Swiss rounds with 40 minute games. There will be a final 4 single elim to determine the top 4. We will extend the final four games as much as possible to meet the 6pm finish time. We are very sorry the decision was not made earlier but now, especially with 8 teams playing, there should be ample quality game time for all.

    Looking forward to seeing you all, lets play some fucking polo.

  • Nice one lads, well excited about this, what with two gates now for fast riding on/off the court woop!

  • And a nicely cleaned surface

  • And I cleaned the portaloo too

  • Great news Hayden. See you on Saturday.

  • and i made a sweet spectating area

    +1.

  • London, what colour are we going as then. Red?

    Or otherwise I've still got a load of LII t-shirts I could bring (and most of you should have one anyway).

    LII shirts would be great! I have one already.

  • LII shirts then?

    Anyone need one who hasn't got one? I've got one, Josh and Jono should have one, Brendan? Dave?

  • i've got one - is no one else in navy blue then?
