Jeez that head angle looks steep

Anyone fancy Shirley Sunday? If we can get enough id be more than happy for a couple hours, last weekend before champs ;) can't really go to London.

Do it right, gator 21s.

I'm in , but I'll be late.

So it's ok to try make any stationary player foot down by hooking their mallet?
I didn't realise screens were still ok, so the only real change is not checking players that aren't going for the ball.
I was under the impression that screens and blocks were being taken out of the game? That's the way the nah video explanation made it sound.

So can someone clarify the following for me.
2 players attacking, is the player not in ball possession aloud to screen a defender to protect the ball carrier? Does it matter if the defender is stationary or not?

Can I mallet fuck stationary players, as long as It's not a slash?

Will polo ever be fun again?

Yeh man, people need to quit bitching and learn to wear bruises with pride.

Fuck these rules, they make no sense. Shoulder contact is far more dangerous than forearm, with a lot of players running big bars there will be far more injuries In major tourneys from tangled bars/levers/hands/fingers.

There isn't enough players on court to adopt these new contact rules. Off the ball contact/screening/mallet hacking is needed in polo, it keeps the game fast as you have no option to get a move on and attack the ball. We probably won't end up with teams playing everyone in goal, but what stops defending teams chilling mid court and waiting for an attack to come to them? Fuck me that'll be boring.
My vote is to stop mallet hacking on primary goalies, second goalies/ stationary players should have it coming.

Quite like the look of the ballista now. Been having serious neck Steeze the last few weeks and gave into a higher front end. I don't like the way it plays as much, but at least I can play a decent amount of polo without a bad neck affecting my game.

I guess the idea is easier dribbling, in reality not sure how much difference it makes.

Frax your gonna love this website!

Is there 6 tomorrow? Me frax and josh will be coming down.

Cambridge will be down

Does this mean the 25-27 is now tournament free?

Ill play in Cambs, but if the numbers aren't up I might hit London

Ted, Have had a tweaking session on your bike today man, changes and raised the front end a bit and changed the brakes. Those dual brakes where horse shit, so I've put a campag on the front, it's a lot better, you should get on with it a bit better now.

Not 100% sure but Hayden was saying end may/ start of June time

The Cambs/Newmarket bond is stronger than tournament clashes ;). Cambs has been arranged and in the booking stage, I can have any weekend free of charge.

Not announced yet.

Just a quick update, so the 7th of June isn't too feasible now as the Cambridge tournament will also be around that time, and I'm guessing that you guys from further north will struggle to make the same journey on consecutive weekends.
This is only important as It looks as if we can host a large number of teams, so a weekend when a big chunk of the polo world are available is ideal.
May is out of the question due to destruction work on the site. Is there anybody that is really hot on the tournament scene able to help me and pick me out a decent weekend, then I can pretty much start registration.

Yeh man you could come on foot, the bikes in my car so I'll definitely bring it.

Ted I'm 100% bringing that bike so you don't need the loaner,

I got that bike Ted, ill bring it along tomorrow.

Tuesday Shirley?
