A. GENERAL LAWS OF PLAY
18. CONSEQUENCES
OF A ROQUET
- WHEN
A ROQUET IS ACTUALLY MADE If the striker's ball makes a roquet under Law
16(b):
- subject
to Law 17(a), it cannot thereafter score a hoop point
or peg point for itself in the same stroke;
- 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 moved, picked up
or arrested in its course if the state of the game will not be affected
thereby;
- it becomes
a ball in hand at the end of the stroke unless the striker’s turn has ended
(see Law 4(d)); and
- the striker
takes croquet under Laws 19 and 20
unless the turn so ends.
- WHEN
A ROQUET IS DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN MADE If a roquet is deemed to have been
made under Law 16(c), the striker’s ball becomes a
ball in hand and the striker takes croquet under Laws 19
and 20.
