52. MODIFIED GAMES
The standard game of 26 points may be modified as follows.
(a) 22 POINT GAME. The game is started with all the clips on
hoop 3.
(b) 18 POINT GAME. The following variations are permitted.
(1) The game is started with all the clips on hoop 5.
(2) The game is started with all the clips on hoop 1 and the peg point
is the next point in order after 2-back.
(3) The standard setting is modified by removing the centre hoops;
the game is started with all the clips on hoop 1, 1-back is the next point
in order after hoop 4 and the peg point is the next point in order after
4-back.
(4) The game is started with all the clips on hoop 1 but as soon as
one of the balls of a side runs or is peeled through hoop 1 in order, 3-back
becomes the next hoop in order for its partner ball and the appropriate
clip is placed on 3-back immediately. This variation is for singles
play only.
(c) 14 POINT GAME. The game is started with all the clips on hoop
1 and the peg point is the next point in order after hoop 6.
