A match shall be 16 Short singles games where each player in one team plays against each player in the opposing team.
Handicaps should be taken from a player’s Short handicap card. Players not having one may produce a normal handicap card at their first match of the Short league to derive a Short Croquet handicap using the table on the CA’s Short Croquet Handicapping page. The result must be recorded on a Short Croquet Handicap Card. Note that:
the AHS for Short Croquet is only used for those playing only short croquet
If an AC handicap comes down, the SC handicap should be manually adjusted accordingly.
If an AC handicap goes up, the SC handicap should NOT be adjusted
Time limits shall be at the discretion of the competing team captains – but if a time limit is imposed it shall be no less than 75 minutes.
The result for a division of the league shall be decided as follows:
Match points: 2 points for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for a loss
If there is a tie: game wins against all opponents
If two teams are tied: the match result between them (‘who beat whom’).
If there is still a tie: the winner is the team that scored the greatest hoop difference in the matches between the tied teams.
If there is still a tie: then the winner is the team that scores the greatest hoop difference in all matches played.
