RULES
Simplified
Version
(For the full rules, download them on the right):
1. There are 6 players on each team. The field should
be 50m x 70m.
2. The attacking team must start with a tap from the
middle of the field. The defending team must be back 10m for the
start of play and after each score.
3. The attacking team continues play until they have
had 6 touches. A touch can be on any part of the attacker’s body or
the ball itself. Only 1 hand is required to make the touch. After
being touched 6 times the ball is handed over to the other side.
4. After being touched, the player touched must put
the ball on the ground and step over the ball. The Dummy Half who
waits behind them, then picks the ball up and usually passes it (This
is called ROLL BALL, but in reality the ball should NOT be rolled,
rather it should be placed on the ground and stepped over).
5. After touching the attacking player with the ball,
all defending team members must retreat back 5m. When the defending
players have not retreated 5m and they touch an attacking player,
this is a PENALTY.
6. The person who takes the role of dummy half can
cross the score-line but not score. NOTE: Dummy Half is the person
who stands behind his/her team-mate to pick up the ball after
his/her team mate has been touched. The dummy half picks the ball up
after the other player has performed a roll-ball.
7. If the dummy half is touched by a defender while
possessing the ball, the defending team gets the ball. ROLL BALL
(NOT a penalty).
8. If a player drops the ball to the ground or misses
a pass, the defending team gets the ball. ROLL BALL.
9. A PENALTY is given for the following:
- Offside: When the defending players have not
retreated 5m and they touch an attacking player
- Forward Pass: When the ball is passed in front of
the player who possessed the ball.
- Touch and Pass: When the person who is touched then
passes the ball.
- When the player who was touched performs the roll
ball past the point where they were touched (i.e runs past the touch
point and fails to come back to where they were touched).
- If a touch is considered to be too strong/aggressive
- Voluntary Rolled Ball or No Touch: When the player
is not touched and performs a roll ball.
10. When someone is penalized their team must then
retreat 10m. The ball is tapped and the player can run forward
without using a dummy half.
