Carrom Federation adopted new rules for carrom
The shorter version of the carom game has established by the All India Carrom Federation. The motive behind this version is to create the carrom game most popular and make it viewers as well as media friendly above and beyond just catching the attention of the ordinary man.
The Federation will carry out all tournaments with consequence since 1st April 2009 according to the new regulations on trial base intended for one year. It has also been directed by the Federation to all its associated divisions to apply the latest set of laws in the entire tournaments held under their command.
Before it used to take roughly two hours to complete the carom match but now in the shorter version of carrom it will hardly take the one hour to finish a match. Now with the new rules every match will be determined by 23 points or the best of 3 sets of 4 boards either one which is earlier. It is not necessary to cover the queen and now queen will hold 2 points in opposition to 3 points. The time to make stroke is only 10 seconds. All the new rules accepted by the Federation after getting positive feedback from top players.
