Two teams line up across an open meadow, each defending a goal area marked at opposite ends of the field.

Players use their curved sticks to strike and control the woven twig ball, working it toward the opposing team's goal.

Players may only move the ball with the curved end of their stick, never with their hands or feet.

A goal is scored when a team manages to knock the ball into the marked goal area at the opponent's end.

The match is traditionally played each spring as part of a seasonal celebration, with the whole village turning out to watch.

The team that scores the most goals by the agreed end of the match is declared the winner.
