Moving from Water Polo Main Article[edit]

I have started to move items over from the main Water Polo Article page. There is still a need for some brief history on the rules, as well as a better summary. Once we have this page flushed out we can start to edit down the sections on the main page to help clean that up. Apriestofgix (talk) 18:33, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Duration of quarters for High School and various age groups in USA Water Polo[edit]

The duration of quarters for the age groups varies between tournaments. I've seen 12 and up play at 7 minute quarters and all the way down to 5 minute quarters. So it depends.

As for high school, F/S games are typically 5 minute quarters, JV being 6 minutes, and Varsity with 7 minutes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.216.156.221 (talk) 03:30, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

According to the NFHS rules, all periods should be 7 min. ^[1] That said I do know that F/S, and JV games are typically shorter. If we can get some citation on these that help back that up, then we get these updated. Apriestofgix (talk) 15:45, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The NFHS rules allow for Varsity games to be 7 minutes quarters and all other games that are not varsity to be 6 minutes. This is also located in the CIF-SS Blue book rules. ^[2] Silencedknight (talk) 07:17, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Gameplay section[edit]

It strikes me that this is a very inappropriate article to contain the gameplay section, which consists almost entirely of a walk through of a game and tactics. Few rules are mentioned here. What would be better to do in my opinion would be to go through the various sections of a rule book (probably FINA) and discuss the important rules covered in each section, possibly in table format. Just a suggestion. JZ CL 00:21, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I understand that the water polo rules section needs a little bit more work. I've been trying to clean up the language and make it a bit smoother. I have also noted rule differences, although FINA is the international governing body. Silencedknight (talk) 07:17, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
