WELCOME FROM THE CHAIR - 2024 CHAMPIONSHIP

In 1999 crokinole enthusiasts gathered in Tavistock for the first ever World Crokinole Championship, and 25 years later we are proud to continue this legacy in what will be the 23rd edition of the tournament.

The date of this year’s tournament is Saturday, June 1, 2024. We’re always happy to see returning players – those who live close by, and those who live in other parts of the world. We truly welcome new crokinole players too!

Crokinole is a fun game for friends and family. There’s a category for all ages and all skill levels. At our last WCC tournament the youngest person playing crokinole was age 7, the oldest person playing, age 90! The total number of registrants playing crokinole throughout the day exceeded 575 (more than double the amount of people who played in 1999)!

We encourage you to register early, to avoid being on a waiting list. In 2023 registrations for the singles categories was full by mid-May.

Registrations can be submitted online (payment via e-transfer or Eventbrite) and by mail (cheque or cash). Registrations received before March 31st are eligible to win one of two official spring jackets embroidered with the WCC emblem. Registrations received after May 1st are subject to a late fee. The WCC Committee are repeating the special promotion for crokinole clubs ... one free entry for a Singles category, to be used by a player who has not attended the world championship tournament before.

We have some exciting changes to the playoff formats that will be introduced for the 2024 tournament:

  • 12 teams (increase from 6) will advance to the playoffs in the Competitive, Recreational and Cues Doubles categories
  • If there are 50 or more players competing, then 30+ players (increase from 16) will advance to the playoffs in the Competitive, Recreational and Cues Singles categories
  • Precise details on the format can be viewed in the tournament schedule
