2008 Association Croquet Handicap

Association Croquet

As in 2007, the Club Association Croquet Handicap Tournament is being run as a multiple-entry knock-out competition and 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 the internal Handicap Tournament have also been 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 first of the semi-finalists of the combined competition.

Up to and including the quarter finals matches will be played as 14-point games off full bisque handicap to base 10 using current handicap on the day the game is played. Games will be played to a time limit agreed between the players (2.5 hours if no agreement). In the semi-final and final matches will be played as 26-point games off full bisque handicap to base 10 using current handicap on the day the game is played. Games will be played to a time limit agreed between the players (3.5 hours if no agreement).
