WCF Delays 2020-2023 Events By One Year

With the Tier 2 and lower Golf Croquet WTC already postponed, the World Croquet Federation has now announced that all WCF events scheduled for the remainder of 2020 through 2023 will now be shifted back by one year. The first event affected is the 2020 Women’s Association Croquet World Championship that was scheduled for November 2020 in New Zealand.

In the release, the WCF also noted that further adjustments could be made depending on the status of the COVID-19 pandemic. The table below indicates revised dates which “are approximate and subject to detailed agreement with the relevant event hosts who have all indicated their support.”

Looking ahead to the 2025 MacRobertson Shield, WCF Secretary-General said, “The MacRobertson Shield is due to be held in England in 2025 which will be the centenary of its founding.  It was also agreed that, if possible, this event should still be held in 2025 with the forward calendar being revised slightly to accommodate this.”
