Triple Peel

A Triple Peel is a standard maneuver in top-level games of croquet (mostly in Association rules, sometimes referred to as International rules, from the US perspective).  To peel a ball in croquet is to send a ball, other than the striker's ball, through its next hoop, thereby scoring a point for that ball.  The ball in question is known as the "peelee."  A prerequisite for a triple peel is that the peelee's next hoop is 4-back (so it has three hoops still to run).  The striker, during a single turn, peels the peelee through its last three hoops and then pegs it out.  Because a ball cannot be roqueted more than once without the striker's ball first running a hoop itself, the three peels are always performed in the course of making a break for the striker's ball, often a break that completes the full circuit of 12 hoops.
