USPA WOMEN'S GOLD CUP

TOURNAMENT FORMAT

The schedule for the USPA Women's Gold Cup will be released following the draw on Saturday, January 11.

All teams will play two preliminary games each. Following the conclusion of preliminary play, teams will be ranked 1-5 based on record with the top four teams automatically advancing to the semifinals. If two teams have tied win/loss records, and they have played each other, the tie is broken by who beat who, all other ties will be broken by a one-man shootout.

If the first and second ranked teams are tied on record, they will not play each other in the semifinals. Semifinalists will not face a team they played in preliminary play if possible, otherwise semifinal pairings will be determined by draw. The winners of the semifinals will advance to the USPA Women's Gold Cup final.

No player handicapped with a T handicap of six goals or less will be allowed to play in a USPA Event with an upper limit of 16 goals and above.

USPA WOMEN'S GOLD CUP

THE VENUE

Situated in South Florida, surrounded by vast sugar cane fields and the popular fishing body of Lake Okeechobee, Port Mayaca Polo Club (PMPC) has steadily become a destination for winter polo. Located on more than 600 sprawling acres, the club has eight regulation fields, club barns with 220 stalls, an exercise track, a stick-and-ball field, a clubhouse and several acres of pastures for turnout and trail riding.

While consistent, quality polo is at the forefront of the club’s objectives, a tight-knit sense of community supports it. The club hosts a lunch or cookout after every club practice. A beautiful pavilion style clubhouse provides an enjoyable gathering place for players to congregate and discuss their latest game.
