THE CROQUET RANKING LISTS Although International Rules Association Croquet is played all over the world, it is largely an amateur sport. In the major playing nations there are competitions to enter nearly every day but most of a local or minor nature. Some competitions do attract a world wide entry and this allows the World Croquet Federation the opportunity to assess one player against the grading of another. Therefore the WCF system does not mirror thre system adopted by the Tennis A.T.P. tour where points are awarded for how far a competitor gets in a competition. The Croquet system awards points for wins and deducts for losses dependent upon which opponent it was against. In this way a picture of ability is made up in which all players in the world can be reasonably assessed, without necessarily having played each other. The system is recognised as not being perfect, but it is the only one we have until a world tour is formed. World Ranking List British Ranking List EmaiI:  brian@storey.u-net.com : Home Page
