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.
