What is Tsato?
Tsato/Syato-It is also known as “stick game, better be good at it.” It can be played by 2 or more players. The players will use two sticks. The sticks should be different in size. The one will be longer than the other as the batter of the short one (1 m; 5 in). Just make a small slanting hole on the ground for the smaller stick.
What is the mechanics of Tsato?
When the hitter is successful in his launch, a fetcher is obliged to retrieve the short stick from where it landed. The hitter now rests the longer stick or ‘bat’ right before the furrow and waits for the fetcher to throw the short stick back to the base.
However, if the hitter is unsuccessful in his launch and a fetcher catches the stick in mid-air, his team loses its turn to play hitters. They now must take the role of fetchers.
On the other hand, the fetcher’s aim is to hit the long stick with the short one. When he succeeds in hitting the long stick, his team now takes the role of hitters. But, if he fails to hit it, the hitter proceeds to the Second Level.
