The 2016 WCF World Association Qualifier started yesterday at the National Croquet Center in West Palm Beach, Florida, but the big news is the potential withdraw of reigning World Champion Robert Fletcher from Austalia from the main event. This was reported on the Nottingham Croquet List, but no other information has been made available. A check of Fletcher's block on croquetscores.com does show his name removed and an additional qualifier spot.Based on that info, the 19 players battling in the AC Qualifier now have eight spots available in the main event. Thus far, Leo McBride, Dan Pailas and Ian Harshman are off to good starts with 3-0 records. Mark Avery, Sherif Abdelwahab, Ted Salter, Mike Todorovich and Eugene Change all follow with two wins each. You can see the full standings on croquetscores.com. Check the croquetnation.com Assocation forum for additional updates on the Qualifier and ACWC events.
