Version 12.0 of the WCF Statutes came into effect on 1 January 2017 following their approval by the WCF Council on 25 December 2016.
The main features of the new Statutes include a re-organisation of content to improve logic and accessibility, deletion of redundant provisions relating to physical meetings and the establishment of an Association Croquet Laws Committee to perform an analagous role to that of the Golf Croquet Rules Committee. The ACLC replaces the International Laws Committee which has had responsibility for the administration of the AC Laws since 2001.
