The Big Oyster GC Tournament at Chesapeake Bay on Oct 14-16 has places available and is now open to anyone who wants to sign up.
The tournament will run concurrently with the World Championship Qualifier, but on different courts. This USCA and WCF sanctioned Golf Croquet tournament will have results submitted to WCF for dgrading. Any player who has been selected for the 2024 Worlds can participate with a minimal entry fee of $60, as can the traveling companions of those players. All other players can enter for $250. The entry fees will be used to offset the cost of preparing for the World Championship.
This will be a modified Swiss format with an imbedded knockout. Everyone will be in the same block. The first round will be seeded high to low by dgrade. After the first round, winners play winners and losers play losers.
The majority of play will be single banked. Play will be best two of three untimed games for those still in the embedded knockout.
Everyone will play every day, regardless of win-loss record.
