During two days 4 polo teams will be competing for the tournaments trophy.

Each beach polo team is formed by 3 players – professionals and patrons.

Each game consists of 4 ‘chukkers’ – playing time with a duration of 5 minutes each.

Between each ‘chukker’ players have 3 minutes time to change to a fresh horse in order to not tier the polo ponies on the sand.

Therefor each player will bring between 3 to 4 polo ponies.

Polo ponies though referred as ‘ponies’ are quite regular size horses with a great ability for speed, quick stoping and turning as the games are fast and furious.

In beach polo tournaments a orange/red ball – for more visibility, lighter and slightly larger then the traditional bocha/polo ball is used in order to not get stuck in the sand.

Players are allowed to ride off / push their opponents though only on a straight line of play without crossing each other’s lines/right of way.

Note, that the direction of play is changed after each scored goal.

The 2 winning teams of the first days games will be competing for the trophy on the second day of the tournament, whilst the other 2 teams will compete for the subsidiary trophy.
