  • Serve distance, from ball and body, is 1 meter from the ring
  • A serve is one hit only
  • As in tennis, you have 2 serves
  • If a serve goes through, but touches the ring, the serve does not count. Serve again

Maximum 3 touches

  • After the serve, you have maximum 3 touches to get the ball back through the ring
  • You can use all body parts to play
  • If your opponent eg. hits the ball so that it lands on your chest, you have already used your first touch
  • You can often save a difficult ball, kicking it with your foot

Blocking

  • No blocking is allowed
  • Not by the serve or in regular gameplay

Touching the ring

  • If a player touches any part of the ring or the stand, the point is lost

Bounce of the ring

  • If the ball hits the orange ring and bounces back, you have 3 new touches to get the ball through the ring again
  • This action can not be repeated until the ball has passed through the ring
