How many croquet hoops are there in a game?

There are a total of nine hoops in the game. There is a pin at either end of the field with two hoops each. There are two hoops on either side of the field, and one in the middle. Play starts from either end with the player going through the two hoops at the pin. Then play goes to the first hoop on the right, then the middle, the next hoop on the right, then through both hoops at the other end and the ball then must touch the pole. Play is then repeated going in the opposite direction. The first player to go through all the hoops and touch the pin wins the game.
