GLOSSARY

• Live ball: A ball that has been validly thrown which can cause Elimination or be Caught.
• Dead ball: A ball that is no longer a Live Ball and therefore cannot cause Elimination or be Caught.
• Inactive ball: A ball that has not passed behind an Activation Line since the beginning of the current set.
• Invalid Throw: it may include rolling, kicking, slapping or scooping the ball.

RULES

• All matches are played on honor and honest system, i.e. when players are struck by a live ball, they

will raise their hand to indicate the officials and head to the “Out Box” immediately.

• Eliminated players must line up in the order of elimination for the ease of return of the game.
• Game commencement: Each player must have at least one foot touching their respective back line.
• Opening Rush: Balls must pass the activation line before a valid throw can be made.
• Players must remain within the court area at all times, unless collecting dead balls.
• Players are only allowed to throw the ball in their team zone. Players will be eliminated when they throw the balls outside their zone or leave the court for other purposes.
• If a player steps on the line of the court border or Centre line, the player is deemed out for foot foul.
• When a player catches a ball, the throwing player will be eliminated.
• Headshots (i.e. hitting your opponents on the head) will result to the thrower to be out.
