Welcome to the 2024 Houston Women's Polo Championship! We have 5 teams competing in the Farish Cup this year, please see the draw and schedule below!
Team announcements and Tournament Draw were held at the Tournament Kickoff Party on Sunday November 10 at 6:00pm. (details emailed to players)
Tournament Format:

Tied Match Games
If teams end their game in a tie, then the tie will be broken with a shootout:
-- 1 player, 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.
Round Robin Rules
The winner of the Round Robin is the team with the best won-lost record.
- A win will count as 2 points
- A tie will count as 1 point
- A loss will count as 0 points
In the event of a won/lost tie at the end of the Round Robin, the order of finish will be determined using the following method:
1. Based on net goals
2. If net goals are inconclusive, then gross goals
3. Lastly, if both net goals and gross goals are inconclusive then teams will follow the “shoot out” procedure
- Shootout procedure: 1 player from each tied teams will shoot penalty 3s only.
**Reminders**
- All players are required to wear a helmet that passes the NOCSAE ND050 Standard Performance Specification
- Games will be played on the flat
- All players must have USPA Dues paid
