REGIONAL PRESIDENT'S CUP
Tournament History
The Houston Polo Club's first tournament of the spring season features a competitive roster with six teams: BTA, Pegasus/Propaganda, Horsegate, T Square Energy/SpecOil, ML Bar Ranch and Brown Bears/Whitehall Ranch. Amongst the competition is Team USPA member, Cody Ellis (ML Bar Ranch), as well as Team USPA alumni Mason Wroe (Pegasus/Propaganda) and Steve Krueger (BTA).
Beginning in 2020, Regional President’s Cup tournaments held nationwide will once again serve as a qualifying tournament for the National President’s Cup. Encouraging participation at the 4- to 8-goal level, the return of this tournament format will bring together teams representing USPA Member Clubs around the country and restore the relationship between the two trophies. The 2020 National President’s Cup will be held at New Bridge Polo & Country Club (Aiken, South Carolina) at the height of the competitive season. The National President’s Cup shall give priority entry to first and second place Regional President’s Cup teams of the same year.
As the country emerges out of the COVID-19 crisis, the USPA established an opportunity to support USPA Member Club events through the use of the COVID-19 USPA Polo Tournament Stimulus Package, which provides eligible USPA Member Clubs with waived tournament fees, trophies or trophy reimbursements, one professional umpire and $2,500.00 in prize money per tournament at no extra cost. Offered to each club for the first two USPA tournaments of 2020 following the COVID-19 USPA Tournaments and Events suspension, Houston Polo Club will be taking advantage of the program for this tournament.
