A polo tournament is a competitive event where teams of players ride horses to hit a ball into the opposing team's goal. Each team typically consists of four players, and matches are played on a large grass field. The objective is to score the most goals within a set time, usually divided into periods called chukkas. Polo tournaments can vary in size, from local competitions to prestigious international events. They often attract spectators and can include various festivities. Notable tournaments include the U.S. Open Polo Championship and the British Open Polo Championship, showcasing top players and teams from around the world.
