Remember, once a wicket has been made, it is finished and no other ball has to go through it. If a game ends in a 3-3 tie, the center peg is then contested. Both balls of a side must hit the peg to score the winning point. Play starts one mallet from the center peg and continues through all the wickets in order or until one team has scored four points. Every player has only one shot per turn.
Every ball is played from where it lies once the game has started.
If a ball goes through any wicket but the proper one, no point is scored. Rules of the Game 1. The player of each ball starts by placing the ball one mallet's length from the center peg and shoots to the first wicket. Each player has only one shot per turn and may only strike his or her own ball with the face of the mallet and may not push or double hit the ball when striking it. The mallet may not touch or strike any other ball when shooting.
