​

A Player Being Out

If the ball thrown from an opposing player hits a body part or clothing and hits the ground, the person will be out and go to the out box to their right outside the hardine.

Blocking

A person may use the ball to block a ball.  If a ball is used to block the person must maintain possession of the ball used to block.  Also must avoid contact from a live ball.  If you block a ball but it hits one of your teammates and it hits the ground, your teammate will be out.

​

Catching

If your teammate catches a live ball off a block before it becomes a dead ball the opponent is out.  And one dead teammate is allowed back in and must enter from the back line before they are alive again.  Dead teammates that are allowed back in from a catch must be from order of elimination.

If you catch a live ball the opponent is out and one dead is allowed back in and must enter from the back line to be live again.

If a live ball is caught after it has it one or multiple teammates the teammates are still alive and the opponent is out.

(Note: Dead teammates must come in immediately and enter from the back line or they will not be allowed back in and the team loses the extra life from the catch).
