How long is a game of polo?

Answer 1

Field Hockey:

A regulation Field Hockey match at international standard consists of 2 halves of 35 minutes, with a halftime of up to 10 minutes. Timestops can add a lot to this - sometimes up to 20 minutes, but normally around 5 - for a total of around an hour and a half on average.

For playoff games, after a 5-minute rest from full time, golden goal time is normally either 7.5 minutes or 15 minutes (2 x 7.5 with no break between). This can add up to 20 minutes more. A penalty stroke can then take 10 minutes for the completion of the first round of 5 players each taking a penalty and then about 2 minutes for each round of sudden death. Games that reach this stage normally finish in slightly over 2 hours.

Ice Hockey:

A regulation Ice Hockey game consists 3 x 20-minute periods, with 2 x 10-minute intermissions between the 1st and 2nd periods.

Playoff games then vary in how they finish: some use extra periods of golden goal, which are played for 20 minutes with a 10-minute break between them (basically, continuing the game) for as long as it takes. Otherwise, penalty shots can be used, and these are normally around 10 minutes for the whole set to be finished.

Answer 2

The game is divided into four periods of usually 7 minutes. The game clock is stopped when the ball is not 'in play' (between a foul being committed and the free throw being taken, and between a goal being scored and the restart). As a result, the average quarter lasts around 12 minutes 'real time'. A team may not have possession of the ball for longer than 30 seconds without shooting for the goal unless an opponent commits an ejection foul. After 30 seconds, possession passes to the other team. However, if a team shoots the ball within the allotted time, and regains control of the ball, the shot clock is reset to 30 seconds. Each team may call 2 one-minute timeouts in the four periods of regulation play, and one timeout if the game goes into overtime. During game play, only the team in possession of the ball may call a timeout

Answer 3

7 minutes. The bell rings at 7 minutes but play continues for 30 seconds more, or until a goal is scored or the ball goes out of bounds.

Answer 4

Arena polo matches consist of 4 6-minute periods, called chukkas or chukkers. Field polo has 4 to 8 7-minute periods, depending on the level of play.
