Player Divisions

The Amateur division is contingent upon a minimum of nine teams registering for it.  You must indicate your players’ preference for it when you register.  To qualify BOTH team members must be either new to the tournament or have never qualified for afternoon play in the past.  First, second, and third place prize winners of previous Amateur division tournaments must compete in the Advanced division.  This applies to individuals, not just teams.

Two players per team. Play will continue unless there is lightning, thunder or other dangerous weather conditions.

Returning Winner Rule – For any advanced team that won 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place the prior two years, the players must return for the next two years with a new partner who has not won 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place in the prior two years. Any amateur team that won 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place must register for the advanced division.

Players affected by this rule for 2025: Dave Bergey, Mike Gehman, Ken Handrich, Naomi Curry, Donna Floyd, Duane Reiss, Lisa Reiss, Roger Kurtz, Matt Musselman, Andrew Derstine, and Kiron Mateti (Advanced).

Whack and Roll provides mallets for players.  Amateur division players must use the provided mallets.  Advanced division players may use their own mallets not exceeding 9″ head length.

Croquet practices will be held each Sunday afternoon in May prior to the tournament at 3 pm on the MHC lawn. There is no charge and no registration necessary. A free clinic is tentatively scheduled for Friday, June 13, 6 pm inside the Mennonite Heritage Center. Pre-register for clinic by emailing info@mhep.org by June 6.

Bring your own lawn chairs and water bottles.
