To start play, flip a coin for service, place ball in ball entry cup and release. Pass and score by pushing and pulling rods and twisting grips. Spinning of rods can be legal or illegal, depending on which you prefer. A point is scored when the ball enters a goal. A serve by the team previously on defense follows each goal.
Game ends when one team scores ten points.
Teams change table side after each game. If a ball stops between two opposing players, it is put back into play through on of the ball entry cups. When the ball stops between players of the same team, it is put back into play by placing it in the nearest corner of the playing field and releasing it.
