Polo - Scoreboard, Clock and Auto Horn

Sporting Designs scoreboard is designed specifically for polo. Firstly, the scoreboard can be seen from over 300 yards away which is the length of a full size field. It can easily be seen in bright sunlight. It can be operated wirelessly from over 300 meters away either by the timekeeper or even by an umpire on horseback.
The fully electronic scoreboard displays the time, chukka number and scores for both teams.
The scoreboard has been designed by an experienced polo player and caters for 4, 6 or 8 chukka matches, 7 minutes plus 30 seconds per chukka, handicap scores and all the intricacies of the polo rules according to the HPA Blue Book. In addition, it can cater for friendly chukkas which you may want to last ,say, 9 minutes.
Sporting Designs scoreboard adds a great deal for spectators and players. For spectators, it confirms the correct scores at all times and lets everyone know how long there is to play as the clock counts down. For players and grooms, they can see when the prior match is about to finish. When playing they know when to change a pony half way through a chukka and when to play strategically.

We also can provide a scoreboard for arena polo. This is smaller and uses 10 inch high digits and follows all the rules for arena polo. It uses the same wireless controller which you can wear on your arm.

Any of the scoreboards may be simply re-configured for Polocross.

The automatic polo clock has the same size digits for the clock but to reduce the price, the scores and chukka number must be changed manually. It is normally controlled from buttons on the side but remote wireless control is an option.
