    1. Our Commitment to Accuracy

    World Polo Guide is committed to providing the most accurate and comprehensive polo information available online. Our database of clubs, players, tournaments, and costs is the result of extensive research and ongoing verification. However, the dynamic nature of the polo world means that information can change frequently.

    2. Data Sources

    Our information is compiled from a variety of trusted sources:

    • Fédération Internationale de Polo (FIP) — international governance and regulations
    • United States Polo Association (USPA) — American club and player data
    • Hurlingham Polo Association (HPA) — UK and international standards
    • Asociación Argentina de Polo (AAP) — Argentine polo information
    • National polo federations and regional associations worldwide

    3. Update Frequency

    We review and update our core content regularly. Club listings are refreshed on a rolling basis, with pricing data reviewed at least annually. Tournament calendars are updated as events are announced. Player information is updated when new handicap ratings are published by official associations.

    4. Reporting Inaccuracies

    If you notice any information that is incorrect, outdated, or incomplete, we encourage you to let us know. You can report inaccuracies through our contact form, by emailing us directly, or by using the 'Submit a Club' feature. Community contributions are essential to keeping our database reliable.

    How We Verify Club Data

    Every entry in World Polo Guide passes through a multi-step verification process before it is published and after it is updated.

    Official Website Cross-Check

    Every club listing is verified against the club's own official website or national federation registry. Location, contact details, and membership information are confirmed at source before publication.

    Direct Club Contact

    For key data points such as membership fees, season dates, and handicap ceilings, our team contacts clubs directly by email or phone. Responses are logged and timestamped.

    Community Reports

    Registered users can flag outdated or incorrect data through the "Report an Error" function. All flags are reviewed within 5 business days and corrections are applied with a public change note.

    Annual Review Cycle

    Every club record undergoes a full data audit once per year. If a club cannot be contacted or verified within the review window, the listing is marked "Pending Verification" until confirmation is received.
