RULES OF NINE WICKET CROQUET 1. The game can be played by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 players. 2. The game is designed to be played with 6 balls or 4 balls. The game can be played between 2 sides or as individual (cut- throat) play where each player is playing for him/herself with no partner. 3. Wickets may be up to twice the diameter of balls. 4. All terrain; close cropped grass is best. 5. Wicket clips are useful but optional. 6. The standard double diamond rectangular court may be adjusted to fit the size and shape of the space available. In ideal situations, use the nine wicket court diagram which shows a 50' x 1OO' court with boundaries. Marked boundaries are optional. 7. A game usually requires from one to two hours to play to its conclusion, that is, until one of the two sides has "staked out" by striking the "finishing stake" with each ball on a team. 8. In games with time limits, the winner is determined by counting points ( see rule 10 below) to see which side has progressed the farthest around the court at the moment time has expired. 9. Each wicket made in the proper order and stake hit count as one point. 10. Each ball in a game can score 16 points for its side, 14 wicket point and 2 stake points. In the 6 ball game there are 48 points that can be scored by each side (3 balls to a team). In the 4 ball game there are 32 points that can be scored by each side (2 balls to a team).
