56. SMALLER COURT

(a) SMALLER COURTS OF STANDARD PROPORTIONS
(1) DIMENSIONS.  The standard length unit is 7 yards.  If the available area is too small to accommodate a standard court, a smaller court may be laid out in accordance with Part 1 of these laws by retaining the proportions of five length units by four length units and using a smaller length unit.
(2) BAULK-LINES.  Law 1(e) applies with a reduced length for each baulk-line.
(3) PERMITTED TOLERANCE.  The tolerance specified in Law 1(g) for the standard court is retained for a modified court.
(b) SMALLER COURTS OF OTHER PROPORTIONS.  The appropriate Croquet Council has power to approve other settings and dimensions for smaller courts.
