17. HOOP AND ROQUET SITUATIONS

1. HOOP AND ROQUET If, during a stroke, the striker's ball both completes running a hoop in order (see Law 14(c)) and hits a ball that, at the start of the stroke, was clear of the hoop on the non-playing side, the following applies:
   1. The hoop point is scored by the striker's ball and the other balls become live before the impact; and so
   2. a roquet is also made, subject to Laws 16(b)(1) to (3).
   This applies no matter whether the ball was live before the stroke, and regardless of the actual order of events.
2. OTHER CASES If, during a stroke and before or after completing the running of a hoop in order, the striker's ball hits a ball ("the relevant ball") that, at the start of the stroke, was:
   1. live and not clear of the hoop on the non-playing side, a roquet is made on the relevant ball under Law 16(b) and the hoop point is deemed not to be scored for the striker's ball; or
   2. dead and not clear of the hoop on the non-playing side, the hoop point is scored but, subject to Law 17(c), a roquet is deemed not to be made on the relevant ball; or
   3. in contact with the striker's ball, the hoop point is scored but, subject to Law 17(c), a roquet is deemed not to be made on the relevant ball.
3. BALLS COMING TO REST IN CONTACT In Laws 17(b)(2) and 17(b)(3), if the striker's ball comes to rest in contact with the relevant ball, a roquet is deemed to have been made on the relevant ball under Law 16(c)(2)(C).
