Once a game is announced and two judges are seated, one team of 6 must have all players on the mat. A 10-minute timer begins.

• If the timer expires, the team starts with whoever is present — or forfeits. 1–5 players may begin the game.
• Late arrivals must wait until the opposing team is in a hiding phase (not mid-round) to enter.

• Captains may agree to replay a disputed shot.
• Video replay from spectators may be used in the event of a dispute.
• Judges on the mat make the final decision. Disputes may cost teams sticks.

• Any player or team found to be intoxicated will be immediately disqualified.
• Teams may continue with remaining sober players.

• All players must use tokens provided.
• 2 judges required at all times.
• No sunglasses. No hoodies up.
• Token may only be passed when the last player is in play.
• No pointing.
• Age limit: 15 & up.
• 1 alternate player allowed.
• ID is required for registration — no ID may result in refused registration.
• If teams from different regions are competing and all judges represent only one region, the unrepresented team may request one judge be swapped for a judge from their region.
