A "hit" is not valid following a foul by the opponent.
Play on, or restart the point.
Only good, clean hits are acceptable. If there is sufficient doubt
that discussion begins, no further discussion is required. The
point is simply re-played.
Shout "Hit!" when the ball strikes (or even just touches)
your target areas. This is your major responsibility as a player.
Except for the first service, the loser of the last point serves.
A player has 5 "lives" in the ring per game.
A singles match comprises three games. A score of 5-0 in the first
game wins the match outright. A "whitewash".
A doubles match is a single game (to 5 hits per player).
Teams (5 players) have to keep two players in the ring until their
last player. A match is played as a single game. |

The ring is a circle of 3m
radius, bisected by a 30cm wide line.
The elastic tether is fastened
3m above the centre of the circle.
Any firm, reasonably smooth surface
is suitable for play.
