Triple Peel on Opponent

Triple Peel on Opponent

A Triple Peel on Opponent (TPO) is a standard manoeuvre in top-level games of croquet. [Martin Johnson, [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/main.jhtml?view=DETAILS&grid=&xml=/sport/2008/07/10/socroq110.xml British Open Croquet set for hoop action] , "The Daily Telegraph", 10 July 2008.] It is a tactic that is normally performed when the opponent's other ball is still on first hoop. The striker then has both balls on the lawn, while the opponent has only one ball. A TPO leaves the opponent with few options in the remainder of the game since any shot available will be long and difficult.
