I'm sorry. I'm just messing about. I'll leave you be.x

not saying every team. BAD will always be 3, as will LC. But an option for some teams.

Zombie had 4 for the whole of this season.

who's 'we'?

You know. Remember: Three Beards One Cup vs. BAD Polo 0-5, 1-4, 1-5

I think bills original two ideas work against each other, I think everyone agrees that next year there will be more players, but if teams are 4 players per ream there probably won't be a need to divide into two divisions.

Personally I don't like the idea of divisions, 4 player teams would also make games easier to organise.

Although how would Teams that have always played together feel about naming a fouth? BADD? :)

There's only one 'D'

Either way, do what you will with the league...play all the games on the moon if it make you happy..

We'll still Win it.

Enforcing forfeits to get games played means you have no idea how the teams would've stacked up against each other and throws out the results.

Encouraging 4-player teams means you will have to eventually pick 3 of those 4 to put forward into future tourneys, etc, meaning that combination may not be the best combination or the one that was placed highly in the London league.

Having a play-off at the end of the league means you can decide on any kind of mini-tourney you like and the results should be more accurate between the top teams, fixtures are often not similar/comparable/fair when spread out over time (in comparison to a one day tourney at least).

Also, a shorter league means a more accurate representation of teams within that time frame... some teams may start out really bad and get really good by the end of a long league which throws out comparative results.

How many games have been forfeited this season?
I've always thought that the sign of a good team is consistency. You can have good tournaments and bad tournaments, I don't feel these accurately present the teams ability whereas a league that goes on for months will display a teams ability to play consistently...

I've just noticed that Aidan and Gabes have the same online persona. You guys should swap avatars. No one would notice.

I've just noticed you're an idiot. Everyone noticed.

Please!

I didn't start this thread so that we could have a bitch-fest about unfulfilled fixtures, and whose fault it was.

You started it for the sake of starting another thread...didn't you?

I cancelled once last Sunday, because my cat was missing & my girlfriend was absolutely inconsolable.

When was the other cancellation?

Sarah! you're such a bitch!

If splitting the league means we still get an accurate (I'd say potentially more accurate) results system going across London, then why not?

How'd you work that out?

I'll play you. Come on then!!

then why don't you and hops play 2 on 2 vs me and mark at 2pm today, downham? dedicated?

I'm in!

I just want to play all teams!

So do I.

so we can either split the league or kick people out for not being committed enough?

i think splitting the league is far more inclusive.

Where are you in the league? maybe you should think about leaving...

not "kicking them out" they can find their own way out..

Then don't have a team in the league, don't try to change something that was/is fine.

I see. It's all clear now. We're team Y. Fine.

Team 'Y do you bother'

So conservative! And confrontational. Don't harsh my good vibes dude. I'll come over to 14 and drink beer in front of the shop and not bring you one.
Whatever, dude.

Yeah 'sweet'...that's sweet dude. Lets do play-offs and the World Series.

Viva 'New London Hardcourt Bike Polo'!

play-offs

What is "play-offs"?
Sounds awfully American to me.

Why do you want to play every team in the league?

I like playing polo.

.
This league has gotten tiresome?

Has it? I've quite enjoyed it...are you just speaking for yourself?

It's like the 'experienced' teams are inconvenienced by the new teams. Rubbish.

I personally think divisions is a bad idea. How are the lower league (bottom half/new teams) ever going to improve when they don't regularly play against experienced teams?

Why are people so eager to finish the league, how can there be too many games? This is about playing polo. I'd far rather play 200 games in a league the 60.
