The 2008 Edinburgh Tournament is supported by Activcity Sport and Physical Activity in Edinburgh

The tournament is played in the grounds of Fettes College and is timed to coincide with the first week of the Edinburgh International Festival, which is also the first week of the Edinburgh International Book Festival and the second week of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
There are six events in all.  Events 1-4 are normally played as American Blocks, event 5 as a Knockout and event 6 as a Knockout (X) with a Swiss consolation (Y).  Players may enter for only one of events 1-4.
 
Time off to attend Festival events is allowed, provided the tournament manager is given plenty of warning.
 
A full list of previous winners can be found on the Club History page.
 
The 2007 tournament took place from Sunday 12 to Friday 17 August.  The entrants and results for each event are listed below.  A full report and more photographs are on the Scottish Croquet Association website.
