These Handicap Guidelines and Procedures, issued by the CA's Handicap Committee, supersede all previous guidelines.

Separate guidelines apply to Association Croquet Handicapping.

• Managing the Handicap System and Non-Automatic handicap changes - Includes the powers (and limitations) of Club, Federation and CA Handicappers.
• Guidelines for Club Handicappers
• Overseas Opponents - how they should be handicapped
• Completing the Handicap Card
• Small Lawns

If you have any queries about the system or how to apply it, please contact the Chair of the Handicap Committee.

GC Handicapping Resources

Players may wish to use the online Handicap Calculator, however, as this is not maintained by the CA, if there is a discrepancy with the calculation using the method described in the latest GC Rules, AC Laws and CA Regulations, the CA-maintained method is paramount.

The following handicapping materials may be downloaded:

• GC Handicap Card - also obtainable in hard copy from the CA Office.
• Posters for the club noticeboard:
  • Trigger Points and Level-Play Exchanges
  • How to fill out your handicap card
