If one of the players in a team sends the ball out of the pitch behind the side lines, the withering team is given a throw-in. If a player sends the ball behind the withering goal line (not in goal), the withering team is given a goal kick, from six metes out. If a player sends the ball behind his own goal line (not an own goal), then the withering team is given a kick from one of the two nooks of the withering goal line and the nearest sideline. The offside mete is also ongot in football—although it is not belikened by all.

Each match lasts 90 metes (+ scathing time)—players are given a 15 mete break at half-time. Whoever scores the most goals wins the game.

Yen cord o thi sling is farmly attached ti thi stave an thi t'ither end hes a loop at can slide off an release thi projectile. Staff slings is extremely pooerfuł acas thi stave can be myed as lang as twee meters, creatin a pooerfuł lever. Ancient art shaas slingers haadin staff slings bi yen end, wi thi pocket ahint thame, an usin byeth hans ti hoy thi staves forrit ower thor heads.

Thi staff sling has a similar or bettermer range to thi shepherd's sling, and can be as accurate in practiced hands. It is generally suited for heavier missiles and siege situations as staff slings can achieve very steep trajectories for slinging over obstacles such as castle walls. Thi staff itself can become a close combat weapon in a melee. Thi staff sling is able to throw heavy projectiles a much greater distance and at a higher arc than a hand sling. Staff slings were in use well into thi age of gunpooder as grenade launchers, and were used in ship-to-ship combat to throw incendiaries.
