AUTOMATIC HANDICAPPING SYSTEM FOR SHORT CROQUET

Players who regularly play short croquet should keep separate cards for short and full croquet matches. All games are 14 point full bisque (or base of 4 in North West League) handicap games. The winner’s index increases by one point; the loser’s index decreases by one point. A change of short croquet handicap is triggered automatically by reaching the next index point as shown in the following table. (source: CA Handicap Co-ordination Committee, Automatic Handicapping System 1994).
