The players rest at the third chukker and change mounts. A minimum of six horses is required for each player. There are four players per team for a total of eight on the field at any one time. Seven football fields could fit into just one polo field. The vast expanse of the field is 300 yards long and 160 yards wide.
Sideboards cover the sidelines so that the ball stays in continuous play.
There are 20 yards of runaway space beyond that. The goal posts are eight yards apart, not an easy target when the horses are charging around the field at such high speeds. Bring your own bottle, picnic and chair for the match. The tables are under the shade of a tent. A light dinner buffet for Preferred and Reserved seating tickets will immediately follow the match.
