WEST PALM BEACH, FL -- It's Selection Eights eve and all through West Palm Beach, AC players are snug in their beds with visions of triples dancing in their heads. Anyway, the news of the day is that the National Croquet Center now has lights available for courts one, two and three. Sources here tell me that they would like to add more. No matter what, it would seem to be a huge benefit to scheduling overall at the Center.
As for the courts, Sherif Abdelwahab and Matt Smith reported that the courts are "very fast" and noted that the Super Hoops are indeed challenging.
From the tournament packet, the First and Second Eights will operate with no time limits, while the Third Eight will employ a three-hour time limit. The Fourth and Fifth Eights will play 2.5 hours and the Sixth Eight will face two-hour and fifteen-minute time limits.
