As the field is not divided into two halves, for the purposes of these rules a player of the team in possession of the all is onsidered to e an attaker. Setion 1: Field and Equipment 1.1 Playing area 1. The dimensions of the field of play is one zone 8 x 16 m (maximum 10 x 20 m) with 2 syntheti korfs, positioned at an equal distane from eah side line and 3m from the end line (see drawing elow). 2. The orders are marked with highly ontrasting lines or other speial markers. 3. If a stadium-format is used side-walls may e used for the oundary lines. The walls must e suffiiently high as to not e dangerous to a player. 1.2 Markings The field of play is learly marked out with highly ontrasting lines: - at least 3.0 m lines or other speial markers with a method of fixing to the ground whih annot ause any injury to any player.

Setion 2: Persons 2.1 Players a Numers and position
The game is played y two teams of 6 players eah, 3 women and 3 men. In a 3 vs 3 math the game follows a speial sequene (see line-up elow). Line up and inomplete teams Two men and two women are delared as the starting 'team' with the other two players listed as sustitutes. In a 3 vs 3 math the math is played aording to the following line up: The line up in Q1 + Q3 is 2 women and 1 man and in Q2 + Q4 is 2 men and 1 woman.

The game must e terminated: at the end of full time when it is impossile to ontinue the math owing to hanges in the field, material or players, or a result of misehaviour or outside interferene. If, even having used sustitutes, in a 4 v 4 math a line up of at least 3 players (with at least one of eah gender) annot e maintained or in a 3 v 3 math the designated line-up for that quarter annot e maintained then the game is delared over with 5-0 result to the other team. f to take ation against misehaviour y the players or a sustitute player In the ase of misehaviour the referee an formally warn any of the aforementioned persons (yellow ard -> means the player is sent off for the rest of the quarter; 2x a yellow-ard to the same person in the same math is equal to red), or he an send the person in question away from the playing area (red ard -> means out for the rest of the game).

The team soring the most goals wins the math Every sore ounts for one goal. 3.3 Line up a Choie of line up The ompetition rules shall deide into whih korf eah team will shoot in the first half (Q1 + Q2). In the asene of ompetition rules, or any indiation in suh rules, then a toss shall e made to determine whih team shall attak whih korf in the first half. Change in line-up As laid down in 2.1, the line-up sheme is followed throughout the math. 3.4 Zone hanges and hanges of ends Not appliale as there is one zone.

This rule does not fore a player to give way for another player, i.e. eah player allowed to position himself just as he pleases. He will only e punished when he moves so suddenly into the path of a moving opponent that a ollision eomes inevitale. An infringement y an attaker is punished y the award of a re-start. An infringement y a defender is punished y the award of a re-start when there is a light infringement and y the award of a free pass when there is a heavy infringement. j to hinder an opponent exessively The hindering player is allowed to hinder the throwing of the all in the desired diretion y ations that result in the all eing thrown against his hand or arm.

Hindering is only permitted in so far as the thrower is ostruted in playing the all in the desired diretion. Furthermore, movements that ause the player with the all to throw it against the hinderer s hand or arm, or allow him to interept it, are allowed.
He is allowed to lok the all y ringing his arm in the path of the all, ut he must not hinder his opponent in the free use of his ody y loking the arm instead of the all hit the throwing arm or eat the all, i.e. the hindering arm or hand must not move quikly towards the all in suh a way that ontat takes plae with the all efore it has left the opponent s hands. k l to hinder an opponent of the opposite sex in throwing the all An infringement y an attaker is punished y the award of a re-start.

Playing an onsist of touhing the all as well as hindering an opponent. If sidewalls are eing used in a stadium format then playing whilst touhing a side-wall is an infringement of this rule. It is permissile to do the following without infringing this rule: to ath or tap the all when it is over a oundary line provided the player stands inside the field to tap the all when the player is in the air outside a oundary line provided he jumped from inside the field n to shoot from a defended position A shot must e onsidered defended when the attaker shoots and the hindering defender satisfies the following onditions: he must atively e trying to lok the all AND whilst atively trying to lok the all he must i) e within arm s length of the attaker ii) have his fae turned towards the attaker and iii) e nearer the post than the attaker. If the attaker is so lose to the post that the hindering defender annot stand nearer the post then ondition iii) an e deemed to e satisfied if the defender and attaker are on opposite sides of the post and all other onditions are satisfied.

q r to shoot when one plays without a personal opponent This an only happen in a 4 v 4 game eause in a 3 x 3 game if a line-up annot e maintained even after using sustitutes then the game is terminated. If a player without a personal opponent does throw the all towards the korf and the referee deems this to e a shot, then a re-start is awarded to the other team. However, a player without a personal opponent an take a penalty. A hange in shooting player an only e made during a reak etween quarters. to influene a shot y moving the post If done y a defender - if it results in a goal the goal is awarded; if the referee is of the opinion that, ut for moving the post, a goal ould have een sored then a penalty is given; if the all reounds to a defender then a re-start is given to the attak. If done y an attaker - if it results in the all going through the korf, no goal is given and a re-start is given to the defene; if the all reounds to an attaker then a re-start is given to the defene The referee will not low his whistle when the post is moved y a defender and the all misses the korf y suh a margin that moving the post ould not have influened the result of the shot. s to take hold of the post when jumping, running or in order to move away quikly An infringement y an attaker is punished y the award of a re-start. An infringement y a defender is punished y the award of a free pass. t u v to violate the onditions laid down for a free pass or a penalty An infringement y an attaker is punished y the award of a re-start.

An infringement y an attaker is punished y the award of a re-start to the other team. An infringement y a defender is punished y the award of a free pass and an e deemed as misehaviour if this is repeated. 3.7 Out-all The all is out as soon as it touhes any of the following a oundary line of the field of play the ground, a person or an ojet outside the field of play. the eiling or an ojet aove the field of play. In the ase of an out-all a re-start is awarded against the side that touhed the all last. The re-start is taken under the same onditions as stated in 3.9.
The field of play is not three-dimensional. It is therefore permitted to hit the all, wherever it may e, ak into the playing area, provided that the all has not touhed anything listed aove and the rule in 3.6 m is not violated. 3.8 Referee throw-up When two opponents seize the all simultaneously the referee will stop play and will throw the all up. The same applies when play must e re-started without one side eing entitled to the all. The referee hooses two players who must e of the same sex and if possile of aout the same height. The two players take up a position on either side of the referee with the defender taking up his position first. The referee throws the all up etween them so that its highest point is out of the reah of either player and at that moment lows his whistle to indiate the re-start of the math. These two players may touh the all after the all has reahed its highest point during the throw-up. The other players must oserve a distane of 2.50 m from the plae of the throw-up and may only touh the all after one of the two seleted players has touhed the all or after the all has een in ontat with the ground. 3.9 Re-start a when to award a re-start A re-start is awarded to the opposing side after an infringement of the attaking team or a light infringement of the defending team after the referee has indiated that one of the rules in 3.6 has een violated.

If the infringement was ommitted against a ertain person ( 3.6 h, i, j, k, l and sometimes m), then the re-start is taken from the spot where this person was standing. how to take a re-start At the moment that the player taking the re-start has, or an take, the all in his hands the player shall ring the all into play, without a whistle y the referee, within a maximum of two seonds with the referee having his arm aove his head, showing two fingers and ounting down using his fingers. Also after a goal the throw off from the virtual penalty spot in front of the post will e taken within a maximum of two seonds, without any whistle y the referee, after the goalsoring. The players of the opposing team may not hinder him. The all is rought into play when the all has travelled at least 2.50 m from the plae of the restart (measured along the ground). No player from either team may touh the all until the all has travelled 2.50 m from the plae of the re-start. If the taker of the re-start has not rought the all into play within two seonds, then the referee will low his whistle and award a re-start to the other team. The player taking the re-start is not allowed to sore diretly from the re-start. He an only sore when the all has een rought into play and has een touhed y another player. An infringement is punished y a re-start to the defene from under the korf. When the person taking the re-start or an out-all touhes a oundary line after the referee has indiated that the re-start or out-all an e taken y starting to ount down from two to zero with his fingers and efore the all has left his hands, then the referee respetively awards an outall to the opposing side (see 3.6 m) or an out-all (see 3.7).
3.10 Free pass a when to award a free pass A free pass is awarded to the attaking side after the referee has indiated that one of the rules in 3.6 has een violated with a heavy infringement y the defending team. plae of the free pass The free pass must e taken y a player of the attakers standing immediately ehind the nearest of the four virtual spots (see 1.2). how to take a free pass The person taking the free pass shall stand with one foot immediately ehind a virtual spot and the other foot must e plaed anywhere in the area ehind this virtual spot. He must not plae his other foot (or touh the ground with any part of his ody) etween the virtual spot and the post efore the all has left his hand(s). From the moment that the taker of the free pass is at the spot with the all, the referee lifts one of his arms vertially and gives the signal with two fingers on his raised hand to indiate that he is going to whistle within 2 seonds for the pass to e taken. During this preparation period for a free pass the referee is allowed to punish any infringements of the rules. Following the raising of the arm there are two possiilities (see A and B elow). Possiility A: 1. All the players other than the taker are standing outside the virtual free pass irle. 2. The other attaking players, who must e standing outside the virtual free pass irle, must also e at a distane of at least 2.50 m from eah other. All the aove must exist within the maximum of two seonds preparation time following whih the referee shall low his whistle to restart play. The player taking the free pass must ring the all immediately into play within two seonds of the referee lowing his whistle. If the taker of the free pass does not ring the all into play within this period, then the referee shall low his whistle again and award a re-start to the defending team. The players of the defending team must remain meeting ondition 1 until the taker of the free pass makes a learly visile movement of the all, an arm or a leg. The players of the same team as the taker of the free pass must remain meeting onditions 1 and 2 until the all has een rought into play. The all is rought into play when any one of the following three things ours after the referee lowing his whistle for the pass to e taken immediately: 1. a player of the defending team touhes the all 2. the all has een thrown lear through the air for a distane of at least 1 m (measured along the ground) and a player of the same team as the player taking the free pass touhes the all whilst standing with oth feet in ontat with the surfae outside of the virtual free pass irle 3. the all has travelled ompletely outside of the virtual free pass irle. The player taking the free pass is not allowed to sore diretly from the free pass. He an only sore when the all has een rought into play under situations 1 or 2, or has een rought into play under situation 3 and has een touhed y another player. An infringement is punished y a re-start to the defene from under the korf. Possiility B: When the players do not meet onditions 1 and 2 mentioned aove in A within the maximum of two seonds of the referee raising his arm, he will whistle twie quikly in suession, the first time to restart the game and the seond time to stop play, and punish the offender as follows:
If the infringement was made y a memer of the defending team then the free pass is ordered to e re-taken. When the defending team makes this infringement for the seond time at the same free pass the referee will give a penalty. If the infringement was made y a memer of the attaking team then a re-start is awarded to the defending team. If players from oth teams are within 2.50 m then the referee will punish the player who is nearest to the spot where the free pass is taken. If the referee onsiders players from oth teams are at the same inorret distane then the attaking team shall e penalised. The referee is the sole judge aout whether the all has een thrown y the taker of the pass for a distane of at least 1 m, has passed ompletely outside the free pass area or when eah period of three or one seonds has elapsed.
