In this segment, I want to talk to you about etiquette of crochet. Now it's a gentleman's
game, just like a lot of games are, but there are some ways to make it nicer and easier
to play with each other. And the first part of etiquette is, say we've got two balls here
and it's black's turn to go first. Well, the blue ball would not want to stand nearby,
you want to get out of his way and let him have his opportunity to take a look and see
where he's going to hit this. He also would want to be quiet, anybody would want to be
quiet while somebody is concentrating to hit the ball where they want it to go. Now also,
when you're lining up your shot, if somebody is already down their, you wouldn't want to
be standing in their line of sight. That can be very distracting, aiming for something
and having somebody either talking or standing there, that can be very distracting. The last
thing is, and this is very important, regulation really sticks to this and you should in a
backyard game because it can take a very long time, so there's a time limit on everybody's
stroke. Because you can see we've got some grass here and some undulations and stuff,
it's really not all that flat so the ball may move around. Somebody may want to take
their time and kind of take a look on where they would like to hit that ball. Well, everybody
gets a forty-five second time limit. If you go over forty-five seconds, you lose your
turn. So you want to kind of line up your thing, you want to make sure everybody is
quiet, nobody is in your line of vision, get yourself a good set up and aim for that wicket.
