Does this have something to do with the metric system? And while were on international rules, why is it in soccer, called football in the metric system, the clock counts up, while in every other team sport, that I know of, the clock counts down?

Ball hits A-1 in the head and deflects toward A-1's basket. Horn sounds to end the period before the ball enters A-1's basket. Official disallows the goal.

Footnote: M&M gives a description of what I meant.

I have never ever had this play!

Yes.

Was not a try for goal - therefore no basket. It is a goal in the case without the horn sounding because a live ball went through the basket.

The horn makes the ball dead unless it's a try/tap for goal, in which case the quarter is extended until it is certain that the ball will not go in.

That's my ruling.

Camron can best answer that!

Good answer. Now let's change it up a little. Middle of the period, so no horn is involved.

Passed ball hits A-1 in the head and deflects toward A-1's basket. The ball is on the ring when it is touched by B-1. Official calls basket interference, and awards the goal. Is the official correct?

For extra credit:

Passed ball hits A-1 in the head and deflects toward A-1's basket. The ball is on it's downward flight, above the level of the basket, outside the cylinder, has a good chance of going in, and the ball is touched by B-1. Official calls goaltending, and awards the goal. Is the official correct?

Mark Padgett: Does the clock count up, or does it count down, in croquet?

You mean basket interference? Then, yes, he is correct.

No. To be goaltending, it must be a try.
