Registration for Online Tournament Entry

Club Members and Croquet England Subscribers

If you are a Croquet England Subscriber (including Standard Subscribers registered by clubs), you already have an account created by your club's Membership Secretary.

To log in, use your email address (provided by you or your club) and set a password following the online instructions.

If your email address is not recognised, contact your club secretary to ensure your details have been provided to Croquet England.

If you do not qualify to be a Standard Associate because your club is not participating in the scheme, you must directly subscribe to Croquet England.

If your club participates in the scheme, but you previously opted out, ask your club secretary to add you as a Croquet England Standard Associate, or see the section Registration for a New Account.

Reciprocal Rights

Members or associates of WCF-Member Associations who are non-residents of England can claim Reciprocal Rights under WCF Statute 164 (A visiting player who is currently affiliated and in good standing with their Member association should arrange for a letter of introduction to be emailed by their Member association to Croquet England). This allows one visit of up to 60 days in a calendar year.

To use the online tournament entry system, you must submit your details online (including handicaps) to register a Reciprocal Rights account. Allow up to one working day for approval. Once approved, you can use TES.

Registration for a New Account

Create an account if:

you are not a Croquet England Associate and wish to become a Standard Associate, or
you want to register a club membership without becoming a Croquet England Associate

Your club can create an account for you or you can register online yourself by following the instructions.

If you are a member of a Croquet England Affiliate Club, you can become a Croquet England Standard Associate at no extra cost: click Add Add Membership in your memberships tab.

Discounts Available

New Premium Associates pay a substantially reduced rate in their first year by completing a Direct Debit arrangement to pay subsequent subscriptions. This rate is not available to anyone who has previously been a Croquet England Associate in a category other than Standard.

The Direct Debit rate is available to those who complete a Direct Debit arrangement for renewal payments from a UK bank.

Otherwise, the Full rate applies and is payable online by credit card or sterling cheque drawn on a UK Bank.

The Paperless rate offers a discount for not receiving paper copies of The Croquet Gazette, which is available online. You can elect to be e-mailed when new editions are available by updating your personal details.

You can register to go (or stop being) paperless by editing your personal details. Update your subscription through the Memberships tab in your personal details to start or stop a Direct Debit arrangement.
