Rules
Two teams formed by 5 players play for 40 minutes to score more games by hitting a ball with the hand.
Every point consists in four points: 15, 30, 40 and game.
Every point begins when a rotating player from the team at the "service" field throws the ball from the "service box", after that players hit it in order to send it behind the opponent's end line or, at least, move it as far as possible.
If on the serve the ball surpassed the midfield the ball must be hit on the air or after the first rebound on the ground, but if the ball arrives bouncing before the midfield then there is no one-rebound limit.
When a team gets two "lines", or the score is "40 and 1 line", both teams must change their respective midfields.
The point may be attain directly or postponed.
- Direct points are obtained:
- When the ball surpasses the opponent's end line.
- When an opponent player hits the ball but it doesn't advance.
- When a player hits the ball with any other part of the body but the hand, except in case of blocking the ball.
- Postponed points are those got when winning the "line".
