SETTING
Outdoor
MATERIALS
- A long stick (dandi)
- A short, tapered stick (biyo)
MEASUREMENTS
A shallow launching notch dug in open ground, batting team spread out 5-10m (16-33ft) away.
HOW TO PLAY
1
Dig a small notch in the ground and rest the short biyo stick across it.
2
The batter uses the long dandi stick to flick one end of the biyo, popping it into the air.
3
While airborne, the batter strikes the biyo as far as possible with the dandi.
4
Fielders try to catch the biyo before it lands to retire the batter.
5
If uncaught, the distance is paced off in dandi-lengths to score points for the batting team.
6
Teams swap batting and fielding roles after every player has had a turn.
