This year we had 10 entries for the Tournament and as it is played over 2 days not enough time for 9 games.It was decided to have 2 Blocks of 5. If they had played like that there would have been Byes . Graham Roberts our President suggested that we run a "Cross Block" this means no Byes everyone plays the player in the opposite Block 3 games 1st day 2 the next day to find the top of eacy Block who play off for 1st and 2nd players of the Tournament. Unfortunatly we had a withdrawal (due to a health problem) which meant 1 Block had 4 and 1 Block had 5 so Byes reared their head, but everyone coped.
A good tournament was enjoyed by all even though the weather was changeable.
Our Club was also hosting the WGton ASsoc. 16+ at the same itme. Only 2 entrants were received so they were asked to enter the 4+ which they did (this increased the 4+ entrants and it meant they enjoyed 2 days of croquet.
