                                        A Synopsis of the Game

 

Croquet is a tactical struggle with each player trying to maneuver both their own and opponent's balls to make points for their side, whilst restricting their opponent's chances of doing the same by careful positioning of the balls at the end of the turn.

Association Croquet is played with four balls; black and blue versus red and yellow, on a court containing 6 hoops and a centre peg (see diagram below, dimensions in yards). The game can be played as singles or doubles, each player in doubles playing with a particular ball throughout the game.

Each ball must run the set course, as shown in the diagram, going through each hoop twice in a specified order and direction and then hitting the peg. The side which first completes this course with both balls wins the game. Thus the winning side has 26 points to score - 12 hoop points and the peg point with each ball.

A ball scores a hoop point when it passes right through each hoop in its correct order (runs a hoop) in one or more strokes. The point is scored whether the ball is struck directly with the mallet or with another ball.

Clips colored to match the balls are placed on the hoops or peg to indicate the next point for each ball. The clips are placed on the crown of the hoop for the first six hoops and on   the side for the second circuit.
