PART 2 - Ordinary Singles Play - B. General Laws of Play
18. CONSEQUENCES OF A ROQUET
(a) If the striker's ball makes a roquet under Laws 16(b) or 17
(1) it cannot thereafter in the same stroke score a hoop point
or a peg point for itself (except under Law 17 );
(2) it remains a ball in play throughout the stroke and may
therefore cause other balls to score hoop or peg points; accordingly, it may only be picked
up or arrested in its course to save time if the state of the game will not be affected
thereby;
(3) it becomes a ball in hand at the end of the stroke unless
the striker's turn ends either under Law 20(c) or because the
roqueted ball is pegged out in the stroke; and
(4) the striker takes croquet under Laws 19 and 20 unless the turn so
ends.
(b) If a roquet is deemed to have been made under Law 16(c) the striker takes croquet under
Laws 19 and 20 forthwith.
