- 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.

Famous quotes containing the words basic and/or rules:
“It is a strange fact that freedom and equality, the two basic ideas of democracy, are to some extent contradictory. Logically considered, freedom and equality are mutually exclusive, just as society and the individual are mutually exclusive.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“The new grammar of race is constructed in a way that George Orwell would have appreciated, because its rules make some ideas impossible to express—unless, of course, one wants to be called a racist.”
—Stephen Carter (b. 1954)
