Each team plays with one (1) Taucer and three (3) balls.

Play to 21, win by 2.

Two teams compete, two players per team.

Both teams throw from the same throw line.

All ties always go to the defense.

The team that throws their Taucer first, also throws their ball first. The teams take turns, first throwing the Taucer's and then each team throwing one ball at a time until all 6 balls are played.

The team with the lesser points always throws second.

A Game Rotation involves both teams throwing their respective Taucers and 3 balls, adding up the scores, and walking across the field to the opposite throw line, starting a new Game Rotation.

A Taucer that lands between score zones will always be played for the lesser value.

A team can play offense and defense during the same Game Rotation. However, a team can only gain points by throwing toward their own Taucer (offense). It is possible to negate your opponent's point and gain points during the same Game Rotation.

Refer to Skorbie Field Layout for Points System.

Playing Offense: Throw a ball within 2'-6" of your Taucer and receive a designated point. Throw a ball inside your Taucer and receive double the points. A team can only gain points playing defense.

Playing Defense: Throw your ball inside or within 2'-6" of your opponent's Taucer and you have negated all points your opponent may have received on that Game Rotation.

Playing Aggressive: Throw your teams Taucer at your opponent's Taucer. You will want to do this if your team is trailing and the game is almost finished. By playing aggressively, you have the opportunity to play offense and defense with the same ball.

Playing Non- Aggressive: Throw your teams Taucer away from your opponent's Taucer. This will lessen the chance of your opponents playing defense on your Taucer and will give your team a better chance of scoring points.
