Polo is played in chukkers, which are periods of 7 minutes each. A match can consist of 4, 6 or 8 chukkas. Every time a goal is scored, the game restarts from the center of the field. Among the main rules, the prohibition of hitting the ball with the back of the mallet and the need to give way to whoever has possession of the ball stands out. Fouls may result in free throws or changes in playing position.
The objective is simple: score more goals than the opposing team. Each goal is counted as a unit, and at the end of the match, the team with the most goals is the winner. Strategy and positioning on the field are crucial to success, as each player must coordinate with their team to move the ball and defend effectively.
