Polo Rules

Yeah, well, that's the obvious abuse of it, just refuse to let the other team have any sub. I guess at some point the organiser can overrule. I just really don't like the idea of having someone play on two teams, it's too easy to abuse it.

I think the only solution to the problem of delaying a tournament due to 1 player being injured is for every team to name a sub (who cannot play for another team) or for there to be designated tournament subs who can play when any member of registered team is unable to continue playing, but aren't playing for a specific team, who can play for any team that requires a sub but is not actually a member of that team.

So, in the example of Shotguns vs Cosmic, the designated sub (let's say it was Joe Teenslain or Horatio) would have replaced Jo for the rest of the game, but would not necessarily have played in any subsequent game, if Jo was able to continue. A floating sub, if you will.
