The Qualification Tournament, the competition that gives two teams the chance to play in the Argentine Open, is set to kick off on Friday October 6, at the Argentine Association of Polo Headquarters, in Pilar. This year’s edition will see nine teams between 28 and 29 goals, in participation. Teams are split in three leagues made of three lineups each. The three league winners will qualify as well as the best second – a place that will be determined by a penalty shootout. The four teams who qualify to the next stage, will go to a draw that will determine the clashes that will secure the two tickets to play Palermo.
