How to Play:
● The game is to be played by two teams, each with an even number of members.
● One team plays the defensive team, and the other represents an offensive team.
● Before the game, a toss coin will be done to determine which team will play as the
offensive and defensive team.
● The throwing team splits into two groups and goes to the opposite sides of the field.
● The defensive team tries to avoid getting hit or touched by the ball. If a player gets hit
with the ball, he/she is out of the game until all the players get caught and are out of
the game, too.
● If the throwing team hits the members of the other team and gains 5 points, the round
is over. Then, the teams will switch roles - the throwing team now becomes the defense
and vice versa.
● Throwers cannot go beyond the designated line when throwing the ball.
