TheClubhouse MULTIPLE CLUB MEMBERS
New Class II (Regional) American Rules Referee
You asked, and we heard. Members can now list with the USCA all the croquet clubs they belong to, for just a small fee. Some of our members belong to more than one croquet club but opted to list only one club with the USCA to avoid paying USCA membership dues at all croquet clubs to which they belong. Now USCA members can list all their croquet club memberships by annually paying only an administration fee in addition to their first USCA membership.

Example: Mr. Flag belongs to the Wicket Croquet Society, the Stripes Croquet Association and Boola-Boola Hoops. Before this, Flag was a member of the USCA only through the Wicket Croquet Society and paid reduced membership fees to the Stripes Croquet Association and Boola-Boola Hoops. Now Flag can opt to join the USCA through the Wicket Croquet Society and for a $25 fee list his memberships at the other two clubs, still paying reduced membership fees to the Stripes Croquet Association and Boola-Boola Hoops. In 2019, an individual member of two clubs will have a savings of $40; for three clubs, the member will see a savings of $105. And the member gets to list all his croquet clubs!

GC PARTICIPATION: As noted in the Southeast GC Regional report on page 42, GC entries continue to trend up. This chart tracks the WCF GC Rankings back to 2000 and indicates the number of US players that registered at least one game in each year. The 2019 figure denotes the number of US players active with at least one ranked GC game in the last 12 months. The trendline repesents a five-year moving average.
