2. All players have to be seated when playing the balls.

3. Team 1 uses the red balls and Team 2 uses the blue ones.

4. The game begins: Team 1 throws the white target ball onto the court.

5. Team 1 now throws a red ball - and tries to get as close to the target ball as possible.

6. Now Team 2 throws one or more blue balls. When a blue ball is closest to the target ball, then it's Team 1's turn to throw.

7. The game continues in this way until all balls are thrown.
