perhaps the most fun sport to play, ever. NOTHING like soccer on horseback, it's definately more like hockey except way harder because there is no goalie and only three to four players per team. o, and you have to factor in the fact that a horse is in no way 100% dependable or trustworthy, no matter how well the players knows it.
the rules of polo change depending on which type of polo it is. arena polo involves three people to a team and four periods, called chukkers (or chukkas, chukkahs), of seven and a half minutes each. outdoor (or field) polo has four people to a team and consists of six chukkers that are seven minutes each. some rules that exist in arena polo do not apply to outdoor polo, and vice versa. also, arena polo is much more about stop-and-turn plays, as often the players use the arena boards to rebound the ball to a new angle or area of the arena. outdoor polo is more about long hits and galloping to the next shot.
argentina is considered the polo capitol of the world, and is home to many of the highest-rated players in the world. polo handicaps range from -3 (also called a 'c-rated' player) to 10 goals, with a ten-goaler obviously being the highest-rated player.

A shirt little preppy fags wear....If the collar is popped, which those who do that think is cool, it just means that the person is an uber fag and needs to get a life cause they look like complete and total douchebags....

A brand of clothing that people who have too much money choose to wear. Comes in many bright and obnoxiously colors. Can be worn with popped/broken collars or double layering the shirts. Loved in communities like Summit where the trend of polo wearing is handed down generation to generation.
