St Albans Croquet Club

Verulam Cup (26 point handicap AC) - Holder Stuart Stafford
In a 26 point game, a player scores points for running hoops and hitting the peg.  For each ball there are 12 points for taking the ball through the six hoops twice and an additional point for hitting the peg (pegging out - the 13th point). In total there are 2 x 13 points i.e. 26 points.

​​

The format of the competition is a double entry knockout.

Kitson Cup (AC Level Advanced) - Holder Jon Palin
Level Advanced is played without using handicaps (the level bit), and with some different rules to discourage players going through all the hoops in a single break (the advanced bit).  Click here for an explanation of the differences between handicap and advanced play.

​

The cup is named after David Kitson.​

​​​Mahoney Shield (14 point handicap AC) - Holder David Levy

This competition is played on a half-lawn (and is limited to players with a handicap above 10 at the start of the season).  Each ball goes through the 6 hoops once (giving 12 points for hoops) and then scores an additional point for each ball hitting the peg (giving a total of 14 points).

The cup is named after Terry Mahoney.

Golf Croquet Competition - Holder Roger White

The game is played on the full lawn, using the new Advantage GC rules.

​

If players have equal handicaps, the first to 7 hoops wins. If the handicaps differ then they will have different targets based on this table. For example, if a handicap 1 plays a handicap 5, the stronger player needs to score 9 hoops to win, but the weaker player needs to score 6 to win.
