Traditional Rules
- Each player stands on opposite sides of the box. Your goal is to the right as you face the box, and your opponent's goal is to the left.
- To start, and after each goal, the puck placed flat, centered, on top of middle wall for the face off. Each player taps the bottom of their side of the box with their stick and then raises it to tap their opponent's stick directly above the puck in rhythm, repeating this three times. After the third tap, both players try to knock the puck off the wall.
- Each player takes turns with two hits, and whichever side of the center wall the puck lands on determines who goes first. The player with the furthest distance to score goes first.
- Each player hits the puck with their stick, moving the puck through the holes to their left (see diagram) and through goal.
- To score, you must get the puck completely through your opponent's goal.
- Interfering with your opponent is not allowed.
- The dragging or carrying of the puck is not allowed.
- Pinning the puck in the corner is allowed.
- The first player to score 3 goals wins the game.

Famous quotes containing the words traditional and/or rules:
“The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
