Teams will alternate sides following each game. Hitting an opposing player with a thrown ball below the shoulders. Catch a ball thrown by your opponent before it touches the ground. A player may block a thrown ball with a ball being held, provided the held ball is not dropped as a result of the contact with the thrown ball. If the held ball is dropped as a result of the contact, the player dropping the ball is out.
Players then take a position behind their end line.
Following a signal by the official, teams may approach the centerline to retrieve the balls. This signal officially starts the contest. The first team to legally eliminate all opposing players will be declared the winner. A 10-minute time limit has been established for each contest. If neither team has been eliminated at the end of the 10 minutes, the team with the greater number of players remaining will be declared the winner.
