How Water Polo scoring works
Each goal is worth exactly 1 point. A goal is awarded when the ball fully crosses the goal line, between the posts and under the bar. The final score is simply the total number of goals scored by each team.
Match format
The standard World Aquatics format consists of 4 quarters of 8 minutes of effective time, with an interval between periods (a longer break at half-time). Period length and intervals may be shortened in youth categories or by the national federation.
How to win
The team that has scored the most goals at the end of the four periods wins the match. In a knockout match ending in a tie, the game may go to extra time or be decided by a penalty shootout, depending on the competition rules.
Recommended Score Zen setup
In Score Zen, set up water polo in goal-scoring mode (each goal = 1 point). Choose the Official preset for 4 periods, or the Casual preset to adjust the number and length of periods to your format. Set the periods to match your competition (4 quarters as standard).
