After much deliberation, the officials of the Hublot Polo Gold Cup Gstaad in agreement with the players have decided the following:
In order to preserve the safety of the horses and of the players, the final will be replaced by a 4-chukker exhibition match.
The 4 team-patrons and the 4 best players of the tournament will be split into two teams and will display their skills safely as the ground has been rendered way too dangerous for a real competition match.
There will be a tie for first place between Team SIR, newcomer to the tournament and Team E.I. Sturdza Investement funds, defending champions.
This decision was taken with a heavy heart as everone involved wanted to give the audience the best posssible polo competition but the safety of all partakers prevails!
