Using the Tournament Handicap Record form
Nothing special is needed: players fill in the THR form by hand on the day, or change their index in myCroquet. Typing the form is optional.
The THR form records each player's handicap at the start and finish of a tournament. Players fill it in on the day, as they always have. Afterwards it goes to CAQ by email.
This guide is for tournament managers at Queensland clubs.
You do not need to do anything special
There are two ways to get each player's new handicap into the records. One way is the paper form, printed blank and filled in by players on the day. The other way is for players to change their own index on their myCroquet handicap card. The index is the number behind a handicap that moves up or down with game results. Each player's handicap then updates by itself. You can read more in The handicap card is live on myCroquet.
Either way is fine. The manager does not need to type the form or fill anything in before the event.
How clubs do it
- Download the THR form (PDF). To keep your own copy, right-click the link and choose "Save link as".
- Players fill it in on the day. Typing is optional, and "Filling it in" shows how.
- At the bottom, the Tournament Manager prints their name, signs and dates it.
- Email every page to hello@croquetqld.org.
What is on the form
| Part of the form | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Top | Event name, club or venue, the code (tick AC for Association, GC for Golf or RC for Ricochet), start and finish dates, and "Page __ of __" |
| Middle | 16 rows, one per player: ACA ID, full name and club, then handicap and index at START and at FINISH |
| Bottom | The Tournament Manager's printed name, signature and the date |
The ACA ID can be left out if the full name and club are written.
Filling it in
The usual way is all by hand, and typing is optional.
| Way | What happens |
|---|---|
| All by hand | The usual way: print it blank, and players write their own details on the day. |
| Type first, then write | Type the players' details before the event and print it. At the end, write the finish numbers by hand. |
| Type it all | Fill in every box on the computer. |
By hand: black pen, one digit in each box, each number inside its own column, corrections easy to see.
Typing: open your saved copy, click a box and type. For the ACA ID, index and date boxes, type the whole number and the form puts one digit in each box. Click a code box to tick it. Save it with a new name, such as the event's name, so your saved blank stays blank.
More than 16 players: a second page is used, with "Page 1 of 2" and "Page 2 of 2" written on the pages.
Sending it
A scan or a clear phone photo is fine: the whole page in the picture, the page flat, good light.
CAQ puts the details into the handicap records. Members see their handicap on their myCroquet handicap card.
