ASSOCIATION HANDICAP SINGLES - 12/13 December 1998

The Association Handicap Singles club tournament was both a fun and an exciting event.  This club tournament is great for bringing together the many talented players within our club onto the same court under an equally fair chance of victory.  The association handicap system is taken seriously by the English players along with their highly coveted trophies.  The Arizona Croquet club has for over 25 years maintained an active and meaningful handicap system.

The handicap system., like others, tries to level the playing odds amongst opponents.  In golf, for instance, the handicap is subtracted from the players stroke score to make a nearly even chance for all players to win.  In croquet, the handicap is not used to adjust a players score at the end of the game, but rather allow that player an equal chance of beating an opponent during the game.  The striker may use a 'bisque' at the end of his/her turn to begin a new turn immediately.  As an example, the 'bisque' might be used to continue a 4-ball break after an unfortunate 'break down'.  Alternatively, several bisques might be used to both set-up and run a 4-ball break.

The entries included: Paul Bennett 0, Don Fournier, Sr. 2.5, Jacques Fournier -2, Bob Haden 2.5, Ray Hamm 3.5, Ren Kraft 0, Tom Ross 3.  The format is association rules handicap singles with block play leading to a six player elimination.
