CARROM GEAR NEWS

A carrom terminology

A carrom terminology section at carrom; should not be a separate article until such time as the carrom article becomes too long per WP:SUMMARY. If this occurs, and there is enough material for a terms article, it should be at glossary of carrom terms.

A more fully-developed rules section at carrom, covering all of the “Laws of Carrom” basic, in summary – we absolutely must not copy the rules verbatim, as was done in a few cases at carrom already, as this is a copyright violation, and also violates WP:NOT (”Wikipedia is not a game guide”). Some of the aspects that should be briefly covered may include:

Standard equipment (already has a section at main article), interpretation of rules, sitting position of players, striking (already has a subsection at main article), the toss (already has a subsection at main article), trial boards, the break, turn of play, scoring and score cards (the score cards part can probably be omitted, as it has little to do with general game play, only with ICF tournament play), changing of sides (already covered somewhat in the toss section at main article), carrom-men overboard, fouls, rolling and overlapping, the queen (already has a subsection at main article, but mostly about the dimensions, not the game-play), dues and penalties maybe (this isn’t really relevant at all to the game as such, only to membership in ICF, so it should probably be omitted from the article), loss of match, protests, and of course the general rules. Each of these topics should definitely not be separate articles, unless and until such time as the main article becomes too large, per WP:SUMMARY, and the desired new sub-article actually has enough content to support an independent article.
