Broadly
based on field rugby rules. A tennis ball is used to commence
play and to convert a TRY into a GOAL (as seen in the videos
below), but otherwise the game is played by imagining the
flight of a ball between numbered players who call the number
of their team mate who is intended to receive the 'ball',
subject to 'Tackles' by opposing players. Team sizes as for
hockey and balloon soccer. (click to view rules)
