Welcome to the new box leagues, here’s the rules of engagement.
There are three players in each box (occasionally four/two if there are an uneven number of players in the whole league)
Please arrange to play the other two players over the next month and, write the results on the scoresheet which will be on the clubhouse competition notice board. Matches must be played by the end of Sunday 18th September
Association Croquet
In AC – 26 point level play, with advanced rules being played for the highest boxes, with a 3 hour time limit. The lower boxes will be 14 point with a set number of bisques each and a 1.5 hour time.
After all matches are played, the winner of the box will be the player who wins the most matches, where players are equal then the winner will be decided on the total number of points scored, then fewest lost. if still equal then I will toss a coin!
Golf Croquet
The top boxes play best of three games, the lower boxes 1 game. level play, no time limit.
The winner of the box will be the player who wins the most matches, where players are equal then fewest games lost, then most hoops run, then fewest lost. If still equal, I will toss a coin!
A match not played is scored 0-0 regardless of who is at fault/injured.
The box winner goes up a box and third placed goes down for the next round. this may require ‘executive decisions’ where there have been withdrawals and new entrants to the league.
These rules will evolve with time once we see how the league runs.
