Faq?

There is no set length of time for a polo match, though they usually last between one and two hours long and are made up of seven and a half minute long periods known as ‘Chukkers’.

The objective of the game is to carry the ball the down field trying to score through the goalposts. After each goal the team swap sides, this makes it fair as weather conditions are compensated for.
