Croquet (Standard American Nine-Wicket)

Nine-wicket is played in a similar fashion to the traditional six-wicket, but there are some significant differences.  Standard court size is 50x100 feet, and two stakes are used instead of one.  These stakes are placed at the north and south ends of the court, and all 9 wickets are white.



Rules:

The first player to score 32 points is the winner.  A player wins after both balls have gone through 14 wickets (each of the seven wickets passed twice) and hit both stakes.

One point is scored for hitting the ball through a wicket and another point is scored for hitting the stake.  Each ball can score a maximum of 16 points.
