Short Croquet One-Day Tournament

Short Croquet

This is a one-day Short Croquet singles club competition held at Watford for club members, and is not in the CqE fixture list. Visitors may however be invited in order to make up numbers.

Short Croquet is a variant of AC played with 14-point games on half-size courts. It has its own handicapping system with default SC handicaps derived from regular AC handicaps, and with mandatory peels instead of minus handicaps.
