History of the Series

The Mallet Series Tour evolved from the MCA Nine-Wicket Series — a season-long points race based on wicket and stake points scored in singles events. The race included multiple divisions and the player with the most points at the end of the season in each division receives a travelling trophy.

Additionally, the points race was used to qualify for the final MCA Tournament Championship. Generally, the top eight players in each division (Pro, Gold and Silver) qualified for the single-elimination event held each September. Points earned in the MCA Championship counted toward the overall points races and the winners of these races were awarded the MCA Pro, Gold and Silver Cups. The winners of the MCA Championship tournament were presented with the Pro, Gold and Silver Shields.

In the past, the MCA Championship also included a free six-ball* event for all players that make the event. The six-ball event was also open to non-qualified players with a fee.
