Stephens opens Easter entries for handicap singles and golf croquet doubles

Easter Monday Golf Croquet Doubles Egyptian Tournament

On Easter Monday, 22nd April 2019:

## Golf Croquet Doubles

Modified Scoring System (Egyptian Tournament Format)

- Only 16 Doubles pairs will be accepted. Entries are now open. - Entries close on Friday 12th April. - Entry fee: $15.00 per player, to be submitted with the entry form. - Arrive at 8.00am for an 8:15am start. - BYO lunch.

There are seven games to be played on the day, four in the morning and three after lunch. It is acceptable to change your partner after lunch.

The games will be played in the Egyptian tournament format, i.e. all pairs start with a point score of 100, and according to a special points adjustment card, the game winner will add points to their score, and the loser will deduct the same number of points from their score.

Games may be double banked and all games will be of 45 minute duration, and will "stop on the bell".

All games will be 13 point, i.e. first to 7 wins, unless the time limit is reached. If scores are equal, play will continue until one pair scores the next point.

The overall winner of the tournament will be the players with the highest point score after playing the mandatory seven games.
