TIMETABLES

Please arrive at least 5 minutes before your croquet match or the start of the Regatta to ensure a timely start.

Croquet Tournament

Please find the tournament bracket below.

In case you win your match, it should be clear at what time you are expected back on the lawn.

Teams are named using the captain's name entered in the sign-up sheet.

The bracket was generated using this website, with randomised seeds.

A few last comments regarding rules and organisation:

• Please aim to arrive at least 5 minutes early to ensure a timely start.
• Each match should take exactly 55 minutes, so please arrange for someone to time this.
• The croquet tournament set will be checked out to be available at 11:00. Please handle the equipment with care.
• The team that completes a half circuit and posts out both of their balls or scores the most hoops wins.
• The simplified rules of the game can be found HERE.
• In the interest of time, we will usually have two matches taking place at the same time, each starting at an opposite corner of the lawn. In the well-mannered and courteous spirit of Cherwell Day, please discuss with players from the other match if situations arise in which balls obstruct each other. In previous years, it has been common to temporarily remove a ball and to place a coin on the lawn as a marker.
• All participants must comply with the Cherwell Day dress code.

Punt Regatta

We are aiming to start the Regatta at the Wolfson Harbour at around 17:15. A few points to note:

• Please check out punts from the Lodge well in advance, so as to have enough time to arrange your poles, paddles, and cushions.
• Punts can be checked out on a 'first come first served' basis. This can only be done with a valid Wolfson punting permit.
• Please be ready with your full crew boarded by 17:10.
• First, all five entered punts will make their way up the Cherwell.
• Second, the five captains will agree on an appropriate starting location.
• Third, the punts will embark from this location onto the 'Regatta course', which will end at the Wolfson bridge across the Cherwell.
• We recommend all punters to read the Wolfson Punting Rules and the basic 'How to Punt' Guide prior to the Regatta.
• All participants must comply with the Cherwell Day dress code.
