Outdoor Polo

Skidmore does not have an outdoor polo team because it snows during most of our playing season. There is a great deal of outdoor polo played on the local Skidmore and Whitney Fields during the summer.

Rules: The number of players on a team is limited to four in all games. Each team shall designate one player as its Captain, who shall have the sole right to represent the team and to discuss with the Umpire matters arising during the game. Handicaps are assigned to each player based on skill level. The aggregate handicap of a team must fall within the limits specified for an event. No team whose handicap is higher or lower than the specified limits shall be permitted to participate. If a team has played a game in an event and has a player or players subsequently raised in handicap resulting in the team's total handicap being over the maximum handicap limit, the team will be able to continue in only that event with the previous handicap.
