Croquet Scores

What's new

Released 2026-11-10

Croquet Scores has been completely rewritten. I hope you like the new version.

Finding things

  • Search. Every page has a search box at the top. Type a name and press Search to find tournaments, competitions and players.

  • Narrow the tournaments by country, state or province, and sport. On the home page, choose a country to see only the tournaments played in it. Once you have chosen a country you can choose a state or province of it, and you can choose a sport as well. Your phone or computer remembers what you chose, and starts from it the next time. Choosing a state or province only finds new tournaments. Older ones were not given a state or province, so choosing one leaves them out.

  • Narrow the tournaments by days. Give a first day and a last day, together, and only the tournaments that start between them are listed. Both days are included.

  • A year's page shows its months. Each month is listed closed, saying how many tournaments start in it. Press a month to open its tournaments, and open as many as you like. + Show all opens every month.

  • Long lists are in pages. A list of tournaments shows a hundred at a time, so a wide search no longer loads every row at once.

  • The help finds an answer by what you mean. Ask a question in the search box on the help's first page, and it finds the article even where the article uses other words that mean the same. The first page also offers popular questions and the subjects as cards.

Following a tournament

  • Notes from the managers. A tournament's managers can now write notes to tell its players what they need to know as it is played: the format, a change to the order of play, the time of lunch. They are in the tournament's new Notes section, with the newest first and how long ago each was written.

  • An asterisk (*) marks what you have not read. A note has one until you open it, and again if it is changed after you read it. While any note is unread, the Notes section has one too, on every page of the tournament, so you can see there is news without going to look. Commentaries are marked in the same way. Your browser remembers what you have read, so you do not need to sign in. Another phone or computer starts with nothing read.

  • Commentary is easier to follow. On the old site, every new comment threw the page down to the bottom, so anyone looking back through earlier comments lost their place. Now the page only moves down to a new comment if you are already at the bottom, reading the latest. If you have scrolled back to read earlier comments, it leaves you where you are.

  • A block shows where each player is placed. The last column gives each player's place: 1, or =2 where players cannot be told apart and share second. Where players are level on the matches they have won, a line beneath says how they were told apart.

  • The order of play can be sorted. Press Game to sort the games by the winner's name, or Date to sort by when each was added. Press again to turn them round. The site remembers how you sorted, for every competition and for the lists of tournaments too, and a link beneath a list, Back to the usual order, forgets it.

  • Handicaps are shown. Where a player has a handicap, it is after their name, with what they represent, as in Tim Murphy (4, Australia).

  • A competition says how many hoops its games are played to where that is not the usual for its sport, as "Played to 14 hoops".

The site

  • Your language. The site is now in twelve languages: Afrikaans, Arabic (Egypt), Czech, English, German, Greek, Latvian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish and Welsh. You are shown the first language your browser asks for that the site has, or English if it has none. To choose another, use the list in the footer at the bottom of any page and press the button beside it. If you would like a language added, email [email protected].

  • Light or dark. Also in the footer: choose Light, Dark or System. System follows your phone or computer. The site remembers your choice on every page and every visit.

  • Which version you are on. The footer now shows the version of the site you are looking at, such as v234. If you report a problem, please say which version it was.

  • Your data. The page /data-deletion-policy says how to have what the site keeps about you deleted, what is deleted and what is kept.
