Circuit Bancaixa

The Circuit Bancaixa changes slightly the Escala i corda rules in order to promote the show and the TV broadcastings.

• First scoring: The match is won by the team who first scores 60 jocs. In order to make matches faster, in benefit of bets, and force pilotaris to effort since the very first ball, the matches begin scoring 15-15 jocs.

• Forbidden galleries: The team who throws the ball to the dau or rest galleries loses the quinze if it doesn't come back to the playing area. This way pilotaris are forced to try to achieve more difficult plays by searching bounces or corners instead of throwing the ball to the top. This rule means an additional effort for the players, specially when playing against a trio.

• The ferida: The first fault of the joc is not scored. In the ferida, if the ball doesn't enter into the dau, it's a fault, that is, a won quinze for the team at the dau. But if this situation happens for the first time in the current joc it's not scored. This way, feridors may risk much more.

• The feridors: Before every match begins the special players, the feridors, are raffled. That is, they don't know who will be they playing for until minutes before. In case the team is formed by 3 players the punter (forwarder) may choose to play also as a feridor (as Tino uses to do), if he doesn't want then he must begin every quinze under the mid-field net
