  As an increasing stakeholder in the minority group that dare not speak its name, I'm acting as a UK go-between for the new Masters tournament in September and am looking to recruit a strong and enthusiastic representation from our shores.

  This idea has been developing sporadically around the world, in Indianapolis and talk of a Vienna event a couple of years ago, but now our German friends have made it a reality. In all (for polo) seriousness, there is a need for tournaments that enable players to remain in the game/scene regardless of diminishing skills or time available to stay abreast of current and future playing standards. With that in mind, I have already met with Alex the German tournament promoter to discuss how we can bring the 2020 edition to London and perhaps move it to a Worlds status. Feel free to make contact if you would like to help develop a UK masters tournament.

  So this is a call out for current UK-based players that wish to play in the first Euro Masters and especially to former players that need a little motivation to get back on court - please get this message out to those people!

  Not immediately obvious why 5squad TM is a 'truer' team sport to me. Why is a longer game going to be a more engaging game? Seems very organiser driven - presumably less matches per tournament/less teams to arrange? In a typical squad tournament do the same numbers of overall players attend/participate or more or less than previous formats? Can't immediately see how the UK can accommodate with the current state of polo activity. Selecting the UK 5squad/s will be challenging. Bigger squads commiting to global travel is but one challenge. Presumably the team members have all to be the same nationality/national residency at WHBPC?
