21. CONTINUATION STROKE

1. ENTITLEMENT After the striker's ball scores a hoop point for itself or after a croquet stroke the striker becomes entitled to play a continuation stroke unless he is entitled to take croquet immediately or his turn has ended.
2. REQUIREMENT TO TAKE CROQUET IMMEDIATELY

If the striker's ball:
1. scores a hoop point for itself and then makes a roquet in the same stroke; or
2. makes a roquet in a croquet stroke
then, unless the striker's turn has ended, there is no continuation stroke and the next stroke must be a croquet stroke.
3. NON-CUMULATIVE Continuation strokes may not be accumulated. Accordingly, if the striker's ball scores:
1. two hoop points for itself in the same stroke; or
2. a hoop point for itself in a croquet stroke,
then, unless the striker's turn has ended, he is entitled to play only one continuation stroke.
