The 101 of Polo And A Fun And Safe Way To Enjoy November 7th

The Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships: Presented by Talking Stick Resort

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Only two weeks and counting down until the one and only Scottsdale polo event otherwise known as The Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships: Presented by Talking Stick Resort with a new, open-air environment. For those who may only be familiar with the sport from scenes in Pretty Woman, we’ve got the scoop for better understanding the game…..and how to best enjoy the upcoming Scottsdale Polo Classic.

THE GAME

The Basics of Polo:

How does the game work? So here’s the deal: players mount up on horses, traditionally four per team, and by using a mallet they move a small white ball down the field until a team scores. This occurs for four periods of play, each seven minutes long. The highest scoring team wins!

Polo Terminology:

Sound like a pro in front of your friends while watching the matches on November 7th with such polo jargon as:

Chukker – one of the periods of play. There are four in a polo match.

Mount – a polo pony.

First Drop – the ball pitch onto the field that starts the play of the game.

Handicap – the skill level of a polo player or team.

Divot – the turf holes that have been kicked up by the horses.

Sideboard – vertical boards lining the field that create the space of play.
