Holder: Joe King
On Monday afternoons, from April 13th, court one will be set out for Short Croquet. From April 27th all members are expected to play their games as KMT games. Even if a player is not a premium member they are still eligible to play KMT games and should enter their results for the KMT ladder and on their handicap card.
However, whilst any member can reach the top of the KMT ladder, only the top 4 premium members (who have played a minimum of 6 KMT games) will qualify for the final knockout phase on 17th August to win the KMT Cup.
KMT games can also be played at times other than Monday afternoons.
- The games are 14 points, with a time limit of 90 minutes
- You may challenge any club member to a game, regardless of whether they are on the ladder already or are yet to play their first game.
- These are qualifying games (provided that the courts are fully open and jumping is permitted) so both players must enter them on their handicap cards.
- To join in please send an email to dr.s.m.fisher@gmail.com to have your name entered, play the game and one of you enters the results below. Results should be entered promptly for it all to work properly.

Details of the format
Each player is initially assigned 100 ranking points. If a player beats a player of the same ranking then three points are transferred from the loser to the winner. However beating a higher ranked player results in more points being transferred and vice versa. Winning or losing a game may change your handicap but this change has no impact on the ranking points
You may challenge any club member to a game, regardless of whether they are on the ladder already or are yet to play their first game. Failure to accept the challenge without good reason and to play the game within two weeks results in a maximum score being recorded for the challenger and 0 for the person who failed to play. Such results do not go on handicap cards as regular results would.
You must play a minimum number of games to win.
A player's position is determined by ranking points, then wins, then net wins (#wins – #losses).
The number of points transferred is given in the table below.
| Difference in ranking points before the game | If player with higher ranking points wins | If player with lower ranking points wins |
|---|---|---|
| 0-6 | 3 | 3 |
| 7-11 | 2 | 4 |
| 12+ | 1 | 5 |
In the event that two players have the same index, number of wins and net wins then who-beat-whom amongst the tied players, and finally net points will be applied manually at 23:59 on the 10th August to decide upon the four best premium member players to take part in the finals to be held on August 17 at 13.30. Should anyone be unavailable to play, their place will be offered to the next best qualifying participant.
The finals format has been chosen to give an advantage to the two players who have done best.
- Qualifier 1 – Player 1 vs Player 2 (the loser gets a second chance)
- Eliminator – Player 3 vs Player 4 (will be played at the same time as qualifier 1 and, as it’s name suggests, eliminates one player)
- Qualifier 2 – Winner of Eliminator vs loser of Qualifier 1
- Final – between the two qualifier winners
