SC One-Day Tournament

Short Croquet

This Tournament is an informal one-day Short Croquet singles competition held at Watford for club members for the first time this year, and is not in the CqE fixture list.

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.
