RE: [AUS-Croquet] Court Size

I don't think it really matters. The most important factor is that all 3 courts have room to be moved during the season. Each boundary should have a couple of feet leeway to allow movement. This avoids excessive wear in corners, and generates more areas for hoops to be placed etc.
 
Regards,

Subject: [AUS-Croquet] Court Size

 
When we converted our 2.5 courts to 3 "full size" courts we had to compromise on the size of 2 courts,
i.e. they are about 2 foot short and narrower in proportion.
 
My question concerns the third court which meets specification.
However some people think it should be the same size as the other two.
 
What do the group think?

Yes I was thinking that if one our rapid improvers reached Elite level they might need the use of a Standard Court (as per AC Laws book page 1). So I was...

Ray, If the correct dimensions of the hoop positions are kept then the boundaries are simply a little bit closer to hoops 1, 2, 3,and 4 than on a full size ...
