American Rules 6 wicket Croquet Referee Video Series [many of the shot faults also apply to Golf Croquet]
Bob Kroeger and Ted Prentis created a USCA 6 Wicket American Rules Croquet Referee On Court Video Series designed to help aspiring referees prepare for the on court test. This series should also help current referees of all levels. Additionally, USCA members who do not want to become referees may value from watching this series to better understand what a referee is looking for when called out to make a ruling. While not mandatory, we suggest you watch segments 1 - 13 in order in your first viewing. After that, it's totally up to you what you watch. Please do read/listen to the Intro first which gives context to the whole project. In it we say that some of our comments are our opinion and some viewers may disagree. We're fine with that and encourage an exchange of ideas as to what it takes to make a highly skilled and competent referee. We are open to make changes to any video clip if we find it will improve on the subject. Please email any questions/comments to Bob Kroeger at bobkroeger@aol.com It is important to put this exact phrase into the subject box: "Referee Video Series" If that is not included, there is a chance it won't be read. Please note a reply may take some time. If we get a number of suggestions or questions that would add to the value of the project, we will post them to a web page for all to read. We thank two USCA members/referees who generously funded this project, Michael Charrier and Harvey Geiger. We hope you find this a worthwhile and helpful video series.
