„BEER TROPHY“ AUSTRIAN OPEN ASSOCIATION CROQUET 2012
24th to 26th of August 2012
Games will commence on Friday morning and will end on Sunday afternoon.
The lawns are located at a golf course (www.roemergolf.at) approx. 15km outside north east from Salzburg City.
It became a tradition that the player’s field of the Austrian Open is a great mixture of each level. There have been always A-Class, B-Class and even C-Class players who all just enjoy playing Croquet at a different location.
10-12 players in 2 groups; single AC games (advanced rules) in block games, double banked, time limit 2,5h. The best two of each group will go into semi final and final which will be best of 3 games if time allows. The rest will play in an Egyptian plate event.
Klaus Gollhofer (kgb@gollhofer.com) assisted by Max Walderdorff (walderdorffmaxx@hotmail.com) To be appointed
