THE LAWS OF ASSOCIATION CROQUET
Croquet Canada has instituted one type of game in which the Rules of Association Croquet are used together with a twist .... the introduction of ROTATION. Rotation means BLUE plays first, followed by RED, followed by BLACK, followed by Yellow - The team or player must ALWAYS follow in that order.

Laws of ASSOCIATION CROQUET and the OLD LAWS of Association Croquet
Recently there have been requests to the CA for permission to publish the laws of croquet on the Internet as the CA own the copyright for the laws. Whilst the CA were not opposed to the idea, we felt we needed some time to consider the various implications of allowing widespread publication on the Internet. We have already seen one unofficial copy published complete with known errors (ed: on croquet.com..... which precipitated the official publishing ) and have therefore decided that in the best interests of croquet, the CA should publish its own pages and ensure that the contents are fully maintained and accurate.
Each law has been prepared as separate files to allow quick access to the information needed and any individual law can be reached directly from the index page. All cross references are automatically linked and updates are clearly shown by colour changes. The pages include the regulations for tournaments and the commentary on the laws.
Any comments on the presentation or the accuracy of the pages should be referred to the Chairman of the CA laws committee, Bill Lamb at bill.lamb@bondyke.demon.co.uk
