CLOSED TOURNAMENT RULES 2008

  1. Applicable handicap restrictions will be at time of entry.
     
  2. “Play-by” dates are posted for all events.  All players are expected to make every effort to contact opponents and arrange for matches to be played in accordance with these dates.  If matches cannot be played in keeping with this schedule, extensions of time can be granted but only with very good reason.  Players who are holding up the progress of the tournament will be scratched so that others may proceed on schedule.
     
  3. Only fully paid-up members may participate.
     
  4. There will be no times limits except those agreed between the players.
     
  5. Golf croquet will be played in accordance with WCF rules.
     
  6. In case of a tie in any event the winner will be determined as follows:

Association rules events:

  1. who beat whom
  2. quality of wins formula

Golf croquet events:

  1. who beat whom
  2. net points
IN THE GOLF CROQUET EVENTS IT IS IMPORTANT TO RECORD ALL SCORES IN FULL.  TWO GAMES TO ONE IS UNSATISFACTORY.  THE RESULT SHOULD BE RECORDED AS 7-6, 6-7, 7-6, FOR EXAMPLE
