There will be an expected entry of 40 - 48 players from around the world in the main event. A Plate event will also be played.

President of Croquet Canada, Jim Nicklasson said, “We are very pleased to have successfully bid for hosting the Championships and look forward to working with all interested parties to make this an event that will make Canada proud.”

Croquet is a perfect alternative in the summer but with the same competitiveness and tense moments.
