Flat mount is a relatively new standard, I doubt many people are playing polo on bikes manufactured in the last year or so.

Possibly but polo bikes setup are usually customised, especially the fork/front end and we do adopt new specs/standards/setups quite quickly.
I've noticed 650b, oversized head tube, tapered forks and 15mm bolt on forks on quite a few instances but not flat mount as of yet.
Probably because choices of brakes are quite limited which makes a courtside swap less likely in the event of a brake failure.

Flat mount is a road standard no? Not many people playing polo with drop bar levers I would have thought

Very mature reply... #justsayin
Yeah, you can do whatever you want cos it's your cash and your bike but if you ask for advice maybe cut back on the sass slightly? ;)
To be honest my comments come from experience as I've run disc brakes for polo and I've never had any issues with post mount or IS. This as you know is a game which pushes the bike and brakes quite a bit.
This is not only just me, I do fix a lot of other player's brakes courtside be it just an alignment of caliper, full bleed or shortening the hose.
And from the above, I've yet to see a flat mount polo setup as I've said before post mount (and by default IS) are still the preferred choice.
