2016 Rules of Polo
15 Aug 2016
Updated Australian Rules of Polo 2016
The Australian Polo Federation have updated the Rules of Polo to Hurlingham Polo Association 2016 field rules, which have for the first time been aligned with the rules of Argentina and the USA. In the USA & Argentina the rules language and order are slightly different in places but the meaning is intended to be the same.
2016 Rule Changes include:
Rule # 1.42 to 1.54 – Changes to Penalties, including Penalty 10 red & yellow flags.
Rule # 2.10 Documentation & DPI requirements
Rule # 2.25 – 2.40 – Club Responsibilities & Requirements, including returns.
Rule # 2.37 & 2.38 New Concussion Policy.
Annex B - # 20 - Goal Umpires - change in number & age requirement
Annex D - #1 acceptance of entries
The Rules of Polo v12.0 August 2016 are effective immediately and can be viewed
