Does WCF make the Rules of the game?
Yes and No. It depends upon which variant of the sport you are talking about. WCF recognises all variants of the sport but concentrates its efforts on Association and Golf Croquet. This is mainly to avoid diluting the overall product of the game and to concentrate scant resources on those that are the most popular. Each variant has a different governing body reflecting the fact that WCF is a relatively young body, established in 1986, whilst the Rules of the game have developed since the mid 19th century. Association, Short and Two-ball Croquet (sometimes referred to as one ball [because each player has one ball each]) games are governed by Rules made and copyrighted by the International Laws Revision Committee of The Croquet Association (of England), Australian Croquet Association, Croquet New Zealand and United States Croquet Association U.S. Six-wicket and Nine-wicket Croquet games are governed by Rules made and copyrighted by the United States Croquet Association.
