- To start, the eldest player shoots first. If a winner stays on, they have honors.
- Scoring is first to a pre-agreed upon number (usually between 7–11).
- All shots must be thrown above a predetermined height. Typically at least 6 inches above the tallest players head.
- All shots must land on the table.
- Only 1 hand may be used to catch, using 2 hands or 'trapping' is illegal and will result in a penalty.
- The defending team may never reach over the plane of the table while defending a shot. Doing so results in 1 point to the shooting team.
