The aim of the game is to try and score goals from about 2m out.
The length of the game is approximately 2-3 minutes long and starts on the first whistle and stopped on the second whistle.
When the game is stopped it is important that there is a winner on each pitch. In the case of a draw the winner is decided on the throw of a stick (flat or round). Once every pitch has a winner all the winners move up one pitch (so if the player is on pitch 6 he moves to pitch 5). The losers do the opposite, they move one pitch down. The winner on pitch 1 and the loser on the lowest pitch have nowhere to move so they stay on their pitches.
Once everyone has moved the game can start again.
