Association Croquet All England Handicap

Association Croquet

The Club runs a qualifying tournament for the All England Handicap Championship which is open to all club members. Depending on the size of entry, the winning player(s) will qualify for the Area Finals, provisionally to be played over the weekend of 29-30 August at Surbiton. Winners from the Area Finals proceed to the National Finals, to be held over the weekend of 5-6 September at Chester. These arrangements will however depend on whether the national competition still proceeds once the final impact of the Coronavirus lockdown on the national entry has become clearer.

Games will be 26pt games played off full bisque handicap to base 10 using current handicap (maximum 20) on the day the game is played, and played untimed or to a time limit agreed between the players (minimum 3 hours; 3.5 hours if no agreement).

Format: Flexible Swiss

Special Covid-19 arrangements apply - see details.

All games should be played by the end of September.

Players are responsible for contacting their opponents to arrange games.

Results of the games 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 as usual.

Details are provisional pending the 2021 AGM and the tournament entry.
