I think the game has evolved differently in mainland Europe and London (can't really comment on it outside of Europe). I feel like London teams came away from the worlds (and the London Open) last year thinking about how to develop their passing and movement and recognising a need to push their game to the next level. After the Greifmasters in Karlsruhe, I really felt like Euro teams were busy refining the strategies they already had.
We've seen a marked change in London team's strategies from league v2 to league v3. It seems to me that Euro teams right now are highly evolved v2 teams.
For what it's worth, I am very much in favour of outlawing intentional interference.

Cambridge, and everyone who went,
Really sorry about not turning up, and sorting out the software, etc, I said ages ago on here that I'd do it, and with shit all kicking off at work, and culminating in me quitting my job, my head was elsewhere, and I totally forgot. The software challonge [http://challonge.com/] is easy to find and set up, anyone could have done it, it takes 20 mins to register and create swiss rounds. Anyway, sorry you didn't know I wasn't going to make it, and shame I missed it too.
You don't owe anyone an apology. A major part of hosting is having contingency plans in place. No event should ever rest on any one person's shoulders.

I understand your frustration, but you all knew that cambridge only had one court so i doesn't taken a genius to figure out that with 20+ teams entering your not gonna be able to play as much polo as you'd like. also there was a court (granted a ropey one) a really short ride away which stood unused for most of the day.
This wasn't really the problem. I'm sure everybody understands that a tournament means you don't get to pick and choose when you play and there will invariably be time spent waiting for games.
The problem was that the day was way out of line with a lot of people's expectations.
