Arizona Croquet Club

US OPEN

Overview:

The US Open croquet tournament is an annual event hosted by the American Croquet Association (ACA).  The ACA was founded by Stan Patmor to provide representation for American players in Association Croquet (before the United States Croquet Assocition took any interest in Association croquet for  its membership).   Association Croquet is played in many countries and its rules have been fully agreed upon by the Croquet Associations of England, Australia, New Zealand and the United States and these are the rules under which the MacRobertson Shield event is played.

The US Open tournament is played at the Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California, held annually during the first week of December.  Tournament rules follow the Laws of Association Croquet with the addition of time limited 2 hour games.  The US Open is both competitive and social.   In most years, there are between 2 and 3 flights of play.  The Championship Open flight is available to players of all handicaps but limited to the top 20 entrants in the field.
