So I have been playing Croquet for three years now and all I can say is – FUN! The lads have been playing since they were teenagers and I am still considered the young upstart by most. We hold tournaments throughout the year on a variety of courses. We play two flavours of the rules, depending on which course we are playing. What we call traditional rules, or “Windsor” rules, are played on the typical 6 wicket course, laid out in the traditional Rectangle. These rules are modeled after the Traditional rules, but made simpler for the novice players in our group. They really level the playing field, making it fun and competitive! Now our really competitive style of play is called Jungle Rules! This is where we will go to a beach, park, forest, dry river bed or wherever and lay out a course of 6 wickets in any pattern. It can be over a very large area where it might take a couple of whacks to get to the next wicket….. Good times and lots of beer. This style creates a lot of arguing as the rules often change mid-game and at the whim of any player…. I will use this area to post about coming tournaments and results including the Power Rankings, because we are that competitive…. Here is the summer schedule and Wrap-up tourney details:

We are always looking for fresh blood, please contact me if you would like more information!
