A normal game of rats and rabbits progresses into: - The team that is running away (let's say rats) picks up the netball from the sideline, and proceeds into a normal netball game (2 players from each team allowed in D, no other positional restrictions) - Any rats that are caught become rabbits and are therefore defenders. (Consequently, quicker reaction times of players make their job easier) - Reset game once shot has been taken
