This doesn't look right (from the wikipedia). It says if you fail to make a cribbage, it is a foul (no penalty of points, but ball spots up). However, then if further states 3 successive fouls is a loss of game. By that logic, if a player fails to make a cribbage in 3 successive innings, he loses the game. Is that right? If not, does anyone know how to fix a mistake in wikipedia.

Rules of play[edit]
A cribbage only counts when the paired balls are pocketed in succession in the same inning. Where a player pockets a first paired ball and is thus on a cribbage, if the companion ball is not pocketed on the next stroke, the shot is a foul and the unpaired balls of any cribbages not completed are spotted to the foot spot. If the foot spot is occupied, balls are spotted as close as possible to the foot spot on the long string stretching back from the foot spot to the foot rail.[1][2][3]
The penalty for all fouls is the ending of the player's inning; no points are lost, and the incoming player has the option of shooting from position or taking cue ball in hand from the kitchen (behind the table's head string). In older rules a foul was a loss of one point. Three successive fouls in cribbage is a loss of game. Pocketing the 15 ball when it is not the last ball on the table is not a foul. Instead it is immediately spotted and play continues without penalty.[1][2][5][6]
