National Sport of Mango Republic - Polo The people of Mango Republic decided to create a new national sport by combining elements of polo and cross-country racing along the beach. Called "XC Polo", teams of up to four players race their horses along the beach with balls and sticks, trying to be the first team to have the most players return within an allocated time limit. Over four "chukkas" or rounds, the teams swap ends and accumulate points based on the number of returning players. Standard polo and equestrian rules apply regarding equipment and horse welfare. In the example game provided, the Red Team scored more returning players and was therefore the winner.
