Kwitzka Spöqbäl Association

Kwitzka Spöqbäl Association (KSA) is an association that governs the rules of Spöqbäl within Kwitzka, they also organize the Spöqbäl Championships, which are held in Nqlät every year.
== History of the KSA ==
The KSA was founded in 1934 after spöqbäl was brought to Kwitzka by Swedish settlers.
== KSA Spöqbäl Court ==
KSA Spöqbäl is played on a 20x10m rectangular court, with a 0.5m high fence in the middle. The viewing platform must be at least 2m above the court floor to avoid the ball flying onto the viewing platform. Under the viewing platform there must be a wall to avoid the ball getting stuck under the viewing platform. The Spöq area is 1x10m on each side and marked with lines. The Spöq area for each team is on the opposite side of the court relative to the main area (see image).
== KSA Spöqbäl Rules ==
In KSA Spöqbäl, both teams must have an equal number of players at the start of a match. If one team is smaller than the other, the larger team needs to play with less players. Matches last for a maximum of 20 minutes, when 20 minutes have passed, the team with the most amount of players left wins. If both teams have the same number of players, extra balls will be thrown into the game, and the game will end when 1 team has more players left.
In KSA Spöqbäl, 1 player must be selected to be in the Spöq area from the beginning, and that player moves back to the main court when the first player on their team is hit. A hit in KSA Spöqbäl does not count on the head or hands, or if the ball bounces on anything before the hit. If a player is hit, they must move to the Spöq area. When more than 1 person is left on the team, players may not move when holding the ball, they can only throw it to their teammates (main area or Spöq area) or at the opposite team.
If the ball is thrown onto the viewing platform, it must be given to the team that did not throw it onto the platform. Players in the Spöq area cannot touch the ball if it is outside the Spöq area dividing line, however they can take it if it is on the line. Players that have not been hit are not allowed to take balls from the Spöq area.
== KSA Spöqbäl Championships ==
