| | W&M Croquet: Six-Wicket American Croquet Rules (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | At the conclusion of a turn in which a wicket point is scored, the wicket clip of the color corresponding to the ball is placed on the next wicket or stake to be scored by that ball. |
 | | For example, if a ball scores a wicket and in the same stroke hits another ball beyond the wicket scored, this does not count as a roquet; the balls remain, however, in their new positions, and the striker continues play with the earned Wicket Bonus Stroke, which he may use to roquet the other ball. |
 | | The basic objective is to score all the wicket and stake points with both balls of your side first, employing the offensive and defensive moves that will best thwart the progress of the opponent. |
