USPA PROGRAMS
The USPA created the Tournament Stimulus Package (TSP) to help its Member Clubs host USPA Events when the United States was emerging from the first wave of the COVID-19 crisis. The USPA wants to continue to support its Member Clubs with TSP benefits in 2022. Therefore, it has extended and expanded TSP under a new name - the Tournament Support Program. To participate, Member Clubs must adhere to the Tournament Support Program Guidelines.
Tournament applications must be submitted one month prior to the tournament start date. Tournament play dates must be confirmed two weeks in advance and team rosters need be verified seven days prior to securing TSP benefits. Clubs that cancel or make changes to the dates after that date may be charged additional umpire fees.
Prize money is contingent on confirmation of four eligible teams and paid after the tournament is played with results entered in the Tournament Database. USPA prize money must be awarded to the winning team(s).
Effective Date: Saturday, May 16, 2020
The suspension of USPA Tournaments and Events will be lifted for USPA Member Clubs in locales where hosting polo matches and tournaments is permitted under applicable state and local laws, executive orders and similar decrees. The USPA Member Clubs in these locales are encouraged to follow all such requirements of their state and local authorities with respect to polo operations. In addition, we also encourage all USPA Member Clubs to take the precautions recommended by the CDC. We are preparing a detailed list of best practices for USPA Member Clubs as they return to hosting USPA Tournaments and Events and plan to circulate these guidelines within the next week. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation closely and will notify you if we determine a different course of action is necessary.
