Format
– Matches will be full lawn i e 26 points.
– 3 hours long. Time yourselves. After time called the person not playing has one final turn but after time is called no bisques may be used. If two matches on lawn add quarter of an hour.
– Referee yourselves-but seek advice if another “experienced” player happens to be around!
– The winner is the person who completes 26 points first. Failing this it is the person who gets most hoops. If both players have scored the same number of hoops when time is called, you play for a “Golden Hoop” i.e. continue playing until the first person gets a hoop and they are the winner. No bisques during “Golden Hoop” play.If a match is completed within the three hours please note the time the match finished.
– In full lawn with regards to “wiring” you must be able to see another ball unlike in short croquet where you must be able to see your own ball.
Logistics
– The match schedule is based on your stated availability. It is fully realised that this will be subject to change so could you please adopt the following procedures if you need to change the timing..
– If you cannot play at the time allocated contact your “opponent” and rearrange a mutually convenient time. You will note that there are many “free” slots throughout the season to cope with this situation if a) there is only one match on the full lawn at Albury and b) Albury is available on any day or any time so finding a mutually convenient time should be possible. Please avoid Wednesday afternoons as this is a Club day.
– Fixtures will go on to the web site and the site will be used to “manage” the competition. However it is important at the outset, that as well as letting the web master know the date of rearranged matches (and results i.e. winner, hoops of both players and if won within the three hours the time taken in the unlikely event that this is ever needed to separate players at the final count!) you let Robert Bell also know details of rearranged times and full results. Clearly the aim is to design a system that can be effectively conducted on the web site so everyone knows what is happening.
– All those in the competition must use the SCA official handicap card which you have or will be provided with if you do not have one. Please let me know if you need one.This is important as it may lead to changes in your handicap as the season progresses. Please ensure that if your handicap does change you inform Simon, as Webmaster, Robert as Secretary and your “opponent” in your next match and adjust your number of bisques accordingly.
