We study the polarization of positively charged $W$'s in scattering massive electroweak bosons at hadron colliders. rely on separation weak boson polarizations gauge-invariant, doubly-resonant part amplitude Monte Carlo simulations. Polarizations depend reference frame which they are defined. discuss change fractions and kinematic distributions arising from defining vectors two different frames have been employed recent experimental analyses.
