### Players 

- 6 players per team. 

### Timings 

- Each game lasts 2 minutes. 

### How to Win 

- Eliminate all players on the other team, or 
- Have more players left when the timer ends. 

### Start of Play 

- 3 balls placed on the centre line. 
- The left-side ball belongs to your team. 
- Either team can go for the centre ball. Getting Players Out Hits 
- You're out if hit by a live ball (one that hasn’t touched the floor or wall). 

### Catches 

- Catching a live ball: – The thrower is out. – One teammate from your outbox (the one out the longest) returns to play. 

### Blocking 

- You can use a ball in your hands to block throws. 

### Lines 

- Stay within the court boundaries. 
- If you collect a ball off-court, return through your team’s backline. 
- Players must return from behind the back line when they have gone to collect a ball.

### Stalling 

- Teams with 2 or 3 balls must attempt a throw.
- When a referee calls 'Play Ball', teams have 5 seconds to throw.
- Players holding balls after 5 seconds will be called out.
- Teams may keep one ball and must throw the others.
