Description


The game begins with a 4v3 ball possession that turns into a 5v3 for the addition of the joker (4 red plus the yellow joker against 3 blue in the left square in the figure)

The objective of the team in possession of the ball is to make (for example 5) consecutive passes to get a point without the 3 defenders intercepting the ball
If the three defenders manage to retrieve the ball, they try to get it as quickly as possible into their square and to achieve this they can make use of the collaboration of the jolly who is along the side of the opposite square.

When a team recovers the ball only two players can return to their square and only two players of the opposing team can enter the opposing square to regain possession. (So ​​a blue and two red players are obliged to stay in the square opposite to the one where the ball possession took place in the example)

5 on 3 ball possession is created again only with reversed sides (4 blue plus the yellow jolly against 3 red in the right square in the figure)

If during ball possession the team in superiority releases the ball from the playing square, the coach inserts another ball inside the other square to restart the game with possession in favor of the opposing team (the players must move and quickly adapt to the new situation)
At the end of the two series, the team with the most points wins

 Rules


Jolly have a maximum of 2 touches per play

A red and a blue player during the ball possession of their team are obliged to park in the opponent's square

Each (tott) consecutive pass without an opponent's interception, the team in possession of the ball scores 1 point

Change the two players who act as jolly in each series (rotating them with one player per team)
