-
The ball must be held by
the hands. The arms or body must not be used for holding it.
-
No shouldering, holding,
pushing, striking or tripping in any way of an opponent. The first

A foul is striking at the
ball with the fist, violations of Rules 3 and 4 and such as described

consecutive fouls it shall count as a goal for the opponents
(consecutive means without the opponents in the meantime making a
foul).

stays there, providing those defending the goal do no touch or disturb
the goal. If the ball rests on the edges, and the opponent moves the
basket, it shall count as a goal.
-
When the ball goes out of
bounds, it shall be thrown into the field and played by the first
person touching it. In case of dispute the umpire shall throw it
straight into the field. The thrower-in is allowed five seconds. If he
holds it longer, it shall go to the opponent. If any side persists in
delaying the game, the umpire shall call a foul on them.

duties that are usually performed by a referee.
-
The time shall be two
fifteen-minute halves, with five minutes rest between.
-
The side making the most
goals in that time shall be declared the winner.
