under the 'Masters of the University' banner. The differing nature between the three rounds' matches is to ensure that the eventual Champion will exhibit a definable level of skill, as was needed during the four tournament UBC era. Monck Park 2010 The first tournament in the new era of Croqsoc was held August 7, 2010, at Monck Provincial Park campground. The tournament was the focal point of a UBC reunion of sorts, comprising most of the original Executive Board, as well as friends, spouses and partners. Whereas in previous Croqsoc seasons, the Wile Cup was awarded to the player with the most points accumulated after 4 tournaments, the new format had to fit a condensed one-day schedule. Players were randomly drawn into 1 of the 3 matches in each discipline. The first round was played on a "Butterfly" course, enabling players to cross each other's paths as they navigated the wickets. "Xtreme" croquet was the style for the second round. Points were awarded for placement in both rounds; 10 points for winning the match, 7 points for the runner-up, and 5-4-3-2 for the remaining 4 finishers. The top 6 advancing to the final round were Brian Martin (20 points), Adam Gelinas (17), Corey Fischer (15), Kevin Nickel (14), Colin Olson (14), and Jake Cruise (14). Playing order was determined by the highest rank picking which position he would like to start at. To break the 4th-place tie, a closest-to-the-stake playoff was held. The final round was set up in a "Traditional" format. After a long day of croquet, the final was over relatively quickly. Playing in 6th position, Olson was able to utilize the other balls for roquet shots, and surged out front in the early going. The players jockeyed for first for a couple of turns, before Fischer grabbed the top spot. After hitting the half-way stake, he was able to take advantage of his opponents' places and pad his lead. Despite a late charge by Martin, as well as surviving ill-fated "poison balls" (defensive plays) from Cruise and Gelinas, Fischer victoriously staked and claimed the 2010 Wile Cup. Martin would eventually finish 2nd, but not before Gelinas ended his own tournament by purposely staking himself out, "earning" 6th. Cruise also had his tournament end via self-stakeout, albeit accidentally. As he attempted re-enter the course (having gone astray in his defensive play toward Fischer), Cruise smacked a hard shot
