Current entry list

Overview

Association Croquet singles at the newly-expanded Albemarle Croquet Club in northeastern North Carolina. Entry is open to all players who are current members in good standing of a WCF-affiliated croquet association (such as the USCA, Croq-Can, or the British CA).

The entry fee is US$185 per player. This includes daily lunches, snacks, and beverages, the Tournament Dinner.

Danny Huneycutt will be the Tournament Director. Adam Lassiter will be the Tournament Manager.

Details: First Flight

Available for players with a World Ranking Grade below 1700 and/or USCA handicap above 2. Entry is first-come, first-served, for up to 8 players. Depending on Championship Flight entry, the flight will be limited to 8 players.

Games will be 26-point advanced play with time limits. Format TBD.

Details: Championship Flight

Room for 16 players minimum (up to 24 depending on First Flight entry). Through April 5th, entries (other than automatic qualifications) will be allocated by ranking. After April 5th any open spots will be allocated by entry date, to players who meet the minimum requirements (world ranking grade of 1600 or higher, or USCA handicap of 3.5 or lower). The waiting list will work the same way: through April 5th the waiting list will be ordered by ranking; after that the existing order will be fixed and new entries will be added to the bottom by date.

Advanced play with no time limits. Super-advanced play is allowed if both players in the match agree. Format will depend on entry size, but will probably begin with a block or Swiss phase leading to a knockout. The Plate (consolation event) will be in the Flexible Swiss or Egyptian format. The format (including time limits) is subject to change without notice.

There will be $185 prizes for the winners of Championship and First flights, $100 prizes for the Cham- pionship and First Flight runners-up (and for the Second Flight winner, if applicable).

About entry ranking order:

The primary determinant will be World Ranking grade, using the most recent available data. Players without a current World Ranking will be assigned a provisional grade according to the judgment of the tournament committee.
