The 3rd annual Loggerhead GC Tournament was held on February 5-8 at the Grand Haven Croquet Club in Palm Coast Florida. The Loggerhead director was Macey White, and the tournament was Golf Croquet Hi-Low Doubles on Thursday and Friday (partners assigned by TD) and Singles on Saturday and Sunday.

The tournament was open to 24 players. In Doubles, the twelve top ranked players were paired Hi/Low to form six teams in Championship Flight, and the next twelve formed six Hi/Low teams in 1^st Flight. The Hi/Low format has several advantages. It takes the burden off the players to find a partner. It makes the teams better balanced, it pairs people who may not know each other (fostering new friendships), and it gives the less experienced players an opportunity to learn from the more experienced players.

Every team played 3 games of round-robin on Thursday, and all teams went to the playoffs on Friday.

Singles was played on Saturday and Sunday. There were 8 players in each flight, Championship, 1^st Flight, and 2^nd Flight. Each flight had 2 blocks of 4 players, and round-robin block play was Saturday. On Sunday, all players went to the playoffs.
