The 5 players on the field each have a single one handed weapon (see equipment). Players start from their base line. The troll ball can only be passed by hand – no kicking! Throwing is fine. A legal tag is a hit by a sword. Target zones are as per HS standard rules. If a ball carrier is tagged, the ball is placed on the ground. A point is scored by getting the ball into the opposing teams bucket. After a point is scored there is a complete reset. THERE IS NO BODY CONTACT! Game play The troll ball starts in the centre. Both teams attempt to score a point by getting the ball in the other teams’ head bucket. If a player is tagged, they must drop their sword and take a knee/sit down. The healer then enters the playing field and must retrieve the sword to give to a substitute. A successful retrieval means the ‘dead’ player can be substituted. The sword is given to a new player and the tagged player leaves the field. Healers can be tagged by opposing players! If a healer is tagged they must leave the field for a 20 count then try again. Only one substitution can be done at a time. Players can be substituted multiple times.
