members of the opposing team by hitting them with a thrown ball and catching a ball thrown by a member of the opposing team.

1. After the two teams are chosen,you need to choose the captain of each team. This person should be fast, flexible and collaborative,and should throw the ball accurately. 2. The starting team can be chosen in various ways. For example, you can throw the coin or play paper-rock-scissors. 3. Once the game is started, players throw balls at members of the opposing team in an attempt to eliminate them. 4. When a player ishit by a ball directly (without hitting the floor, the roof, any of the walls or being rebounded from another player),then the player iseliminated and must move outside of the playing field(but not to his or theopposite captain’s area). 5. When a player ishit by a ball directly (without hitting the floor, the roof, any of the walls or being rebounded from another player) but theirteammate catches the ball before it hits the floor,the player is saved. 6. When a player catches the ball, they can throw it to theircaptain to putthe opposite team between‘two fires’or try to hit the opposite players by themselves. But if a player catches the ball and then drops it, the player is eliminated. 7. Players should try to throw balls to hit legs, not heads, to make thegame safer.

No kicking of the ball is allowed. 8. The game should be played fast (the players should pass the ball as fast as they can) to make it better and funnier. 9. Eliminated players can’t help their captain. 10.Once all players of one team are eliminated,the captain of this team goesto the playing fieldand tries to win on theirown. Theyhavethree‘lives’ . 11.It is forbidden to cross the line of the playing fieldor to go to the opposite team’s field. If it happens twice,the player is eliminated.
