Build, Publish, Manage

One tool to run croquet events end to end.

Seed the field from world ratings, build blocks, Swiss or knockouts, fit it all onto your lawns day by day, score it courtside, and publish a public event page — Golf Croquet and Association Croquet, singles and doubles.

Draws, orders of play and brackets

Generated from the entry list and the results, to the published regulations.

Blocks, built and seeded

Say how many blocks — or take the split it suggests. It creates them, snake-seeds the field by dGrade and generates the order of play from the WCF grids for 4 to 10.

Knockouts that seed themselves

Set how many go through. The bracket is stubbed immediately — “Block A 1st”, “W C3” — and fills with real names as the blocks or the Swiss finish. Cross-block seeding keeps the block winners apart.

Standings that settle themselves

Match wins, then the tiebreaks you turn on, in your order — net hoops, total hoops, game wins, head-to-head. Applied as scores go in. Mark how many go through and the cut-off line is drawn where it belongs.

Your event gets its own website

Not a PDF on a club page. A public address with your title, logo and written detail, a map of the venue and where to stay, the field, the schedule, live scores and the draw — updating as you score.

List the event as open for entries before there are any players, blocks or a schedule — fee, deadline, where to enter, host club. It closes itself the day after the deadline.

And a screen for the clubhouse

Build a board out of panels and put it on any TV — type a six-character code, no sign-in. It refreshes as scores are entered.
