With the peak season in Wellington, Florida, United States, now over, the USPA updated the handicaps accordingly. It’s worth remembering that a few weeks ago, the same USPA had raised and lowered the ratings of players who hadn’t participated in the Gauntlet of Polo, such as Benjamín Panelo (from 7 to 8) or Pablo Mac Donough (from 10 to 9).

On this occasion, and with the three major tournaments already completed, the only increases were in the numbers accompanying each polo player, except for Kelly Beal, who had a drop from 0.5 goals to 0. The champions of the various cups who had increases were Diego Cavanagh, Matt Coppola, Alejandro Poma, Peke González, and Louis Hine. On the other hand, finalists who were close to glory, such as Rufino Merlos, Lorenzo Chavanne, and Gillian Johnston, also received a reward for their great season.

Below is the complete list of USPA handicap changes:

From 7 to 8 goals:
• Diego Cavanagh
