Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roque Guide Rules of the Game as Adopted by the Western Roque Association of America Framed and Passed by the Committee on Rules, March 8th, 1913 The dimensions of a Roque Court should be sixty feet long, thirty feet wide, measured from border to border. The corners of a court are cut oft equally from each side so the inside measurement of the corners is six feet. The boundary of a court is a line twenty-eight inches inside of the border extending around the court. The stakes are set fifty-five feet four inches apart on a line running through the center of the court lengthwise. The first arch, or Point No.1, must be six feet from the stake on a line running from one stake to the other. Point No.2 must be six feet from Point No.1. Point No.3, or first quarter, must be eleven feet from the boundary at the end of the court, and three feet five inches from the boundary measuring the short way of the court. Point No.4, or center arch, must be in the center of the court, set at right angles with a line drawn from stake to stake. The two wickets which comprise this point must be set eighteen inches apart as above stated. All arches must not be more than three and three-eighths inches wide. Points No.5, 11 and 13 similar to Point No.3. Points, 6, 7, 9 and 10 same as Points 1, 2, 14 and 15(see cut). The arches should be tool steel, properly tempered so they will not bend, and should be fully one-half inch in diameter, either set in cement or in oak boards one and one-half inch thick, six inches wide, twenty-four inches long, said boards to be set on edge and bolted together; the arches to extend through the boards and bolted on the bottom; the block should set in the ground one and one-half inches beneath the surface and filled around fully one-half the thickness with cement to hold the same perfectly rigid; then fill in with clay. The border should be made of cement because it is the most durable and less trouble to keep in repair. You once get a good cement border and the trouble is over. The slant of the border should be five-eighths inch to a six inch face to keep the balls from jumping. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
