Demographics and ICE

A strange title you may think! However, they are both connected by information.

In Case of Emergency (ICE)

It is fortunately a rare occurrence that a player suffers an emergency at an event or club, but when it does there may be a need to contact a family member and this information is not always available. We have added a facility to the database so that you can give 'In Case of Emergency'(ICE) contact details. These details will only be accessible to a tournament manager for the duration of that tournament. There is an additional option for these contact details to be accessible to the secretary of your club to cover non-tournament situations.

Completing your ICE data is not mandatory but we strongly encourage everyone to do so, particularly anyone who plays at any event away from their home club. In future any entry on the tournament entry system will be accompanied by a reminder.

Demographic data

The new Croquet England strategy has inclusion as one of its seven pillars. In order to implement and monitor this we need to collect basic demographic data. We ask everyone to fill in just three items: year of birth, gender and ethnic origin. This will only be visible to you but the data administrator will be able to extract the statistics. Again, this is not mandatory but we encourage everyone to do so.
