We ensure fair play and safety by maintaining clear guidelines that honor the traditions of Neza Baazi.

  • For the section formation, a line 50 feet ahead of the peg line will be used as a starting point. All four horses must be within the starting line at the time of start otherwise a 2 point deduction will be applied
Note: Whenever penalties may be levied in a Section Round due to an offense committed by a lancer, the deductions will be made from that team member’s accumulated score from the 4 rounds
  • 4 points-If the peg touches the line
  • 0 points-If the peg is pierced, touched or not removed
  • 4 points-if the peg is broken and the lancer takes half or a large piece on the lance
  • If the steed bucks during a run and the lancer doesn't lance the peg, a warning will be issued and the run won't be scratched. However, a penalty of 2 points will be levied for leaving the circle
Note: if the final round of a single match is prolonged for whatever reason, the speed of the horses (measured via timer or speed-gun) will be taken into account whilst calculating the results
