Association Croquet is the full international version of the sport and is played by the majority of tournament players. It involves two players or sides, each with two balls, aiming to score 12 hoop-points and a peg-point before the opponent. The game requires strategic play to create advantages and earn additional strokes, allowing for breaks and higher scoring. Detailed information on how to play is available on the website.
Golf Croquet, on the other hand, has simpler rules and is more interactive, requiring a single stroke per turn. This form of croquet has gained popularity in recent years and emphasises accuracy and tactical awareness. Players follow a course, contesting each hoop in turn and moving on to the next as soon as one is scored. Detailed rules on Golf Croquet are available on the website.
