If the dates for the start of the work change I'll ensure we give members as much notice as possible via the Clubhouse noticeboard. Each year the Australian Croquet Association holds the Gold Medal tournament. In each State, the 10 top players, play off for the Gold Medal with each of the 6 Gold Medal winners then playing off for the English Silver Medal - illogical, but the Silver Medal which is presented by the English Croquet Association, did not start until 1953, well after the Gold medal events had already been started. From The Yard Line I've been asked to explain how to calculate bisques for games such as our usual Club draws. Firstly, remember bisques are only used in handicap matches, not in ordinary or advanced play.
Advanced play uses lifts .
Ordinary play uses neither lifts nor bisques. This gives the number of bisques to be received by the higher handicap player. Things are a little different in doubles. This gives the numbers of bisques to be received by the higher handicap team. So, Team A receives 2 bisques.
