GC B-Level Series
The CA's golf croquet B-Level Series is part of a hierarchy of competitions that group together certain tournaments of a similar grade. Players are rewarded for their achievements in Series tournaments, by the awarding of points that can lead to a National Final or can achieve direct qualification to a National Final by dint of a qualifying tournament victory. Note however that the A-Level Series is a straight 'points race' with no National Final.
The hierarchy of Series tournaments is:
- The English National Singles Championship (8 Open tournaments leading to a National Final for the 'Ascot Cup')
- The National A-Level Series (10 Open tournaments - A straight 'points race'. There is no National Final)
- The National B-Level Series (24 tournaments restricted to handicaps 3+, leading to a National Final)
- The National C-Level Series (21 tournaments restricted to handicaps 7+, leading to a National Final)

Points Totals 2020
The winner of each of the above 24 tournaments will qualify for this Finals tournament (if there are 24 different winners of the 24 qualifying events, the final will be expanded to accommodate all. Otherwise the final will be limited to 16).
Final places not claimed as above will be allocated automatically by points earned in the qualifying events from finishing second (6 points), third (4 points) or fourth (2 points).
New rule for 2018 onwards - If a third/fourth place play-off is declined by one player but not the other, the player willing to play will be placed third and the unwilling player fourth (with Series points awarded as above). If neither player is willing to play a third/fourth place pay-off, BOTH players will score only 2 points.
