This was the only appearance of the event at the Olympics; it was one of three croquet competitions in 1900. Croquet was one of the first Olympic sports open to women (with only sailing having female competitors before croquet, due to that sport taking place earlier in 1900), with two of the six players in this event being women.[1]
Competition formatedit
The competition format is unclear. There were two rounds. The first round appears to have been a head-to-head, best-of-three competition. The winners advanced to the second round, as did one of the losers. The second round appears to have been a round-robin with each match being best-of-three.
