Handicap Level: 0- to 4-goals
Four teams representing the Army, Navy/Coast Guard, Marine Corps and Air Force/Space Force

For eligibility, U.S. Military is defined by Title 10 of the U.S. Code and will include U.S. Army (active reserve and guard), U.S. Navy (active and reserve), U.S. Marine Corps (active and reserve), U.S. Air Force (active, reserve and guard), Space Force (active and reserve) and Coast Guard (active and reserve). Space Force will play for the U.S. Air Force and Coast Guard will play for the Navy if there are personnel for those services participating. Players will be required to play for their respective service unless there are insufficient players by service to field a team. If that is the case, the tournament committee may re-assign players to try to create four teams.

The tournament will be played under split-string format. First games will be decided by a draw which will take place Friday afternoon (October 1) with the final on Sunday morning. All participants will be encouraged to help instruct in the "Introduction to Polo Clinic" held on Saturday, October 2 for U.S. military and veterans. If there are extra unfilled spaces for the clinic, military family members will be able to participate. There will be a barbeque after the clinic at Virginia Polo late Saturday afternoon.
