Ricochet was initially developed as a training game for Association Croquet and has become a useful transition game
to take players from Golf Croquet (GC) to Association Croquet (AC).
However it has also developed in its own right and a set of rules has been prepared and published by the
Queensland (Australia) Croquet Federation.

Main Differences

Pairs of black dots represent hoops (uprights). Brown arrows indicate direction of play through hoops 1 - 6 (forwards). Blue arrows indicate direction of play after hoop 6 through hoops 1b - 4b then PENULTIMATE and ROVER (backwards). PEG indicates position of the peg (last point of game). The inside of the white line is the playing boundary of the court. Grey line here shown inside the white boundary line is an unmarked "yard-line" on which balls are replaced after going off court. At start of game balls are played from anywhere on either of the BAULK-LINEs (here shown in yellow) at players' discretion. |
