Thank you SoYo Polo for a great tournament, Chris+Hannah especially (special thanks for housing NT).

Congratulations Madam, Bono and Bryan; ridiculously tense final.

Definitely be back next year.

Yea, Nice Touch are on that. At least Josh and I are: Cam is a law unto himself.

Also remember the UK Champs were going to happen in Manchester. That fell through and Edinburgh stepped up.

The major upsides are an evenly spread workload, wider involvement, wider knowledge of the rules and more respect for refs.

If I can lift it.

If it's better than Bill's, I'll drop the hammer on him.

It's not a rule or law.

Bill is head ref for the series and this is how he wants to organise the refs.

What are you proposing?

As long as there's time for bocking...

This is the UK Champs thread?

All of them. They all broke. Because they didn't have flat bars.

And so began the On-One backlash.

Just wait until everyone finds out about all Pompinos that broke in Barcelona.

El Club beat Call Me Daddy 3-2. Hooks came back to beat El Club 5-4 in an epic (and very clean/impressive) game.

Call Me Daddy beat Toros 5-4 though right?

Another victory for polo!

Whoops, I'm still pretty tired...

Talking of next year, was there any discussion of where that will be?

I'm guessing that Germany/France/Italy might be interested , any others?

Looks like Paris will bid for it. Maybe Munich as well?

I want to see the video of me beating Cam in a knife fight without even having to move.

Call Me Daddy vs El Club = best game. 1-4 down to win 5-4 was a victory for polo.

The story is they practice 4 times a week, mix team games in with throw ins (hence growing the standard across the board which helps keep pushing their own standard) and have been doing so for years. They're also fast, skilful, versatile, confident and calm.

Barcelona was pretty good.

Yea, let down.

Software written by a Como (I think) player called Vince. We used it for the first round of the National Series in Brighton and it should be present at all the other events as well. He's adding to it all the time and it's very easy to use. Has features like a scorekeeper for refs to use on their smartphones, which they can then use to update the bracket.

Been at work for an hour and a half. Having a cup of tea. Reading about Ichimoku charting techniques.

Jono won't make me one so I unliked Spring Break on Facebook. Now we're at an impasse.

Yes Andy!

Cam reads his own rules.

Whether he plays by them or not I can't control.

Much like you Bill!

This is what I wanted to check.

I think I'm still in London over the ref's meeting (assume it's pre-wildcard).

So it's shielding with forearms, not pushing?

The wording of the ruleset makes it sound like pushing with hands is not allowed but pushing with forearms is.
