Arrangements for Mason Cup on Monday, 2 September
Just a reminder that the Mason Cup tournament will be held next Monday, 2 September, starting at 9.30 am, so please arrive by 9.15 am.
There are 8 entrants and the tournament will be run as a 5-round Swiss with the first round pre-drawn.
This is a 14-point full lawn handicap event where handicaps will be reduced as per Schedule 1, Schedule of Bisques from the Laws of Association Croquet, 7th edition; and further modified (reduced by 5/6th) to reflect that the time limit of matches is reduced from 90 minutes to 75 minutes. The matches will be full bisque games, that is played from a base of 0, and all four lawns will be used.
Please don’t forget your lunch!
Cheers

2024 Mason Cup on Monday, 2 September
A 14-point AC full lawn handicap tournament will be held on Monday, 2 September, for the Mason Cup.
If you wish to enter please let me know no later than Monday, 26 August.
The precise format of the tournament will depend upon the number of entrants.
All games will be 14-point and time-limited with handicaps adjusted to take account of the shorter game format. Games will be played as full handicap matches (no base).
Scoring will be one point for a win; hoop points scored will be recorded. The winner will be the person with the most points scored. In the event of a tie at the end of the competition, the tied player with the most hoop points scored will be the winner; if that fails to elicit a winner, the head-to-head results of the tied players will determine the winner; and if that fails to elicit a winner, a tie break at the manager’s discretion will be used.
I look forward to hearing from you.
