TOURNAMENT HISTORY

The Florida Circuit 16-Goal Super-Series Championship's inaugural season will culminate on Sunday, April 9, at the National Polo Center - Wellington's U.S. Polo Assn. Field One. An innovative effort spearheaded by the USPA Tournament Committee to draw more teams and participation into medium-goal competition, the Florida Circuit 16-Goal Super-Series Championship has been a true testament of collaboration. Participants are able to experience the comforts of their home club while also vying for the opportunity to play in front of a large crowd at NPC.

Hosted across South Florida, four prestigious national tournaments served as qualifiers for the Super-Series Championship including the Joe Barry Memorial (Port Mayaca Polo Club in Okeechobee, Florida), Ylvisaker Cup and Iglehart Cup (led by Patagones Polo Club in Wellington, Florida and a series of private fields falling under the Wellington Polo Tour umbrella) and the Continental Cup (Sarasota Polo Club in Sarasota, Florida).

To reinforce the idea that all participation is encouraged, players could compete in as many events as they would like on either the same team or on different teams, however, qualifying teams must maintain at least two of their original members in order to play in the championship.

Dominating in each qualifier they entered (Joe Barry Memorial, Ylvisaker Cup, Iglehart Cup), Iconica clenched their spot in the championship final with a phenomenal 16-goal season. Entering the final, Iconica boasts a staggering 15-1 record.

Attempting to end Iconica's reign, BTA, the runners-up in Joe Barry Memorial and Iglehart Cup, will go head-to-head against Continental Cup victors La Fe to determine who will advance to the Florida Circuit 16-Goal Super-Series Championship final. Representing Team USPA is alumnus Jesse Bray (BTA).

THE VENUE

The National Polo Center – Wellington (NPC) is located in the heart of South Florida’s legendary horse country. The perpetual home for polo in America, NPC is owned and managed by the United States Polo Association to showcase the finest the sport has to offer.

The Association’s premier event, the Gauntlet of Polo, takes place from February to April each winter season showcasing the world’s preeminent teams, professional athletes and finest horses which come together for three months to battle head-to-head for the coveted C.V. Whitney Cup, USPA Gold Cup and U.S. Open Polo Championship trophies. Throughout the year, the facilities are also used to showcase USPA Member Clubs and prestigious national tournament competitions including the anticipated finals of the Florida Circuit 8-Goal Super-Series Championship and Florida Circuit 16-Goal Super-Series Championship.

The entrance to the club is via a palm tree-lined drive, that leads past tennis courts to the steps of the magnificent pool and Mallet Grille. The natural Florida terrain is augmented by a large lake, lush tropical landscaping and some of the most carefully manicured polo fields in the world. Spectating from the stadium, private boxes, fieldside tailgates and special hospitality tents, all overlooking the U.S. Polo Assn. Field One, is an unparalleled experience.

NPC invites you to experience the best polo in the country, taking place at one of the most beautiful venues in the world, the National Polo Center – Wellington.
