AC Association Croquet

This is a 1-day internal club AC doubles tournament. The tournament format and number of hoops in each game will depend on the size of the entry, but the intention is that it should be suitable for all club members and is therefore likely to involve some form of handicap play, and if the entry is large enough then quite possibly shortened games in order to permit several rounds.

Being doubles, the results of games do NOT count for handicap cards.
