AC Association Croquet

The Club Association Croquet Handicap Tournament is once again this year a multiple-entry knock-out competition, and is combined with the qualifying stage of the All England Handicap tournament in order to produce an overall Club Handicap champion. (The draws for the All England Handicap and this tournament are arranged in such a way as to minimise the number of duplicated games.) The winner of the qualifying stage of the All England Handicap tournament becomes the fourth of the semi-finalists of the combined competition.

All games will be played off full bisque handicap to base 10 using current handicap on the day the game is played. ALL games will be played as 26-point games, preferably untimed, or to a time limit agreed between the players (minimum 3 hours; 3.5 hours if no agreement).

Both players in each match are responsible for contacting their opponent to arrange the match.

Results of the matches will be updated here from time to time. They are also shown on the notice-board in the club hut.

Players must enter results on their handicap cards.
