SECTION 10. The pockets of all field crosses shall be strung with four or five longitudinal leather and/or synthetic thongs. Mesh pockets are not allowed. Longitudinal leather or synthetic thongs and/or other second material which is not required to be the same width as the thong shall be 0.3 cm to 1.0 cm wide. Each thong must be made of one material (leather, synthetic leather or nylon cord) and run the full length of the head. Thongs must nominally be the same width along their full length. Thongs must be attached to the head through holes in the scoop and at the ball stop. A second material may be used to allow attachment to the scoop and the ball stop of each thong to the head. However, this second material may not be more than .5 inches from the bottom of the scoop and no more than 1.5 inches from the ball stop (see Diagram 15). The thongs at the ball stop must extend 5.1 cm beyond the ball stop. Thongs must not be bunched along the width of the head (top to bottom), must not touch in the top third of the head, and must not be more than 1.5 inches apart as measured from the inside of the adjacent thongs, regardless of the material. The loose ends of the thongs may not be woven back up through the pocket or the sidewall of the crosse. The loose ends of the thongs must remain below the ball stop. Any additional strings used for attachment of the pocket to the head of the crosse may not be tied behind the pocket above the ball stop. Additional strings not directly required for attachment of the pocket to the head of the crosse are not allowed.


SECTION 11. The pockets of all field crosses shall be strung with 8 to 12 stitches of cross lacing. Cross-lacing in a traditionally strung pocket is defined as 8-12 knots/ stitches, where two pocket nylon laces intertwine at a common place on a thong.
