Update (7/7, 1:15 p.m.): The format for Gold and Silver has changed due to a player withdrawal. Seven players are now competing in the combined division. The revised tournament structure is in development and subject to change; however, Gold and Silver are likely to break down this way:

Round one losses will send three players to the Silver Division, which will be a round robin.

Round one wins will send three players to join one additional player, who will have a round one bye, in the Gold Division bracket. The Gold Division will be a double-elimination bracket.

At this point, the most important thing for Gold and Silver players to know is that they all must be on site by 8 a.m. to register and get organized. Games will begin at 8:30.

2016 Missouri Open Registration

BELTON, MO -- The 2016 Missouri Open at Eagles's Landing Golf Course is ready to roll out for year two on Saturday, July 9, 2016, with four courts. Sunday is reserved with consideration for high entries, but all efforts are being made to consolidate the event to Saturday only.

It is dependent on total entries, but the tentative plan is to start the event at 8:00 a.m. It is quite likely, we'll have some divisions take a later start.

With limited players in Bronze, we plan to consolidate Silver and Bronze. Essentially, players that do not qualify for the Silver playoff will shift to the Bronze playoff (similar to how Pro/Gold worked in previous years). 

To reserve your spot in the event, email kccroquetclub@gmail.com or visit the Facebook event page. Please indicate your preferred division.

DEADLINE FOR SIGN-UP: Tuesday, July 5, 7:00 p.m.

Lunch: Not included -- the clubhouse does serve food and drinks, but coolers are not allowed on the courts.  
Address: 4200 Bong Ave, Belton, MO 64012
Rules: All divisions will now use the MCA Advanced Rules. Silver and Bronze will still play on a 50-minute clock. 

Registration fees:
MCA Members: $15.00
Non-members: $25.00
