When awarded a penalty in polo, a free hit towards the goal is set by the umpires depending on the foul committed. Any player on the team awarded the free hit may elect to take the attempt. A Penalty 6 (Corner) occurs when a player hits the ball over their own back line. This results in a free hit awarded to the opposing team on the 60-yard line opposite where the ball crossed the back line, but no more than 40 yards from the center. Please view the following video to see an example of how players on both sides of the of the free hit can position themselves during a Penalty 6 attempt.
