Welcome to the 2026 Spring Cup! We have 4 teams playing in our first Pro Am tournament of the season!
Tournament Format
- Bracket 1 - 4 teams, plays within bracket
Finals
- Top two ranked teams with the best W/L record after bracket play will advance to the final
Tied Records within Bracket
- In the case of 2 tied records and the teams HAVE played each other, the tie is broken by who beat who
- In the case of 3 or more tied records, the tie is broken by a 1 person shootout
Tied Match Games
If teams end their game in a tie, then the tie will be broken with a shootout:
-- 1 player (either professional or amateur), alternating teams, will shoot Penalty 3s. After all players have hit, the team with more points is declared the winner. Should a tie remain, ALL PLAYERS will hit again, until a winner is declared.
**Reminders**
- Games will be played on handicaps
- Spare changes at end lines only
- All players are required to wear a helmet that passes the NOCSAE ND050 Standard Performance Specification
- All players must have USPA Dues paid

- Social Media Policy - HPC is a private club that is the tenant of a private club, and we maintain a modest and positive social media presence consistent with that posture. With that in mind, we ask that our polo members respect each other's privacy and refrain from posting images of fellow members who do not wish to be publicized, or that risk the reputation of the club or its affiliates.
