Tournament rules


Welcome to the 2017 edition of the Annual Robotics Institute Croquet Tournament. As usual, the tournament will be held during the first week of classes, with the final match held during the RI Picnic(September 5, 2017). In addition to the glory and honor of becoming the RI croquet champion, the grand prize is a gift certificate to Amazon. The top few finishers also traditionally organize the tournament next year. Per recent tradition, second prize will be a quality cheese whose variety and provenance have yet to be determined.

First round games will be held at the beginning of the week, with semi-finals later in the week, and the final on Saturday. First round and semi-final games will take place on the lawn in front of the Hunt Library. See the schedule below for more details. Please sign up to play; a time and location for your first round game will be emailed to you. If you are not available at these times, but would still like to play, please email Dhruv Saxena (dhruvsaxena at cmu dot edu).

Rules will be discussed before every first round game, but if you're interested, you may read the official tournament rules. These are the same rules as last year. Please direct any questions to Dhruv Saxena (dhruvsaxena at cmu dot edu).
