BASIC GAME PLAY:

The player in the center square serves the ball to any other square.

The player receiving

the ball must hit the ball out the top of their square and into another square. Each player

is allowed to hit the ball only once per turn. Play continues in this manner until someone is

eliminated.

Players can be eliminated if:

> They fail to return the ball to another player's square.

They hit the ball outside the entire game structure.

> They double hit the ball.

> They touch the game structure during play. (This rule is optional during free play.)

The player who is eliminated will exit the game and get in line and wait to re-enter the

game. The remaining players will advance forward in a clockwise manner to fill the empty

square, and a new player will enter square one. Once the 9 squares are filled, the center

plaver serves the ball to start the next play.
