Teams use rock-paper-scissors to determine who has the right to throw a But. One of the teams who got the right decides the starting position and draws a circle with a diameter of about 50 cm. Stand within the circle and throw the But from there. If it is 6 meters or less to 10 meters or more, throw it again. If you fail 3 times, the right will be transferred to the other team.
One of the first team throws the ball from within the circle, going for near But, and one of the other team continues to throw.
The team that did not take any point (the team far from the But) keeps throwing until it takes a point.
*In this case, if one team finishes throwing all of their balls, the other team throws all of their remaining balls.
When there is your own ball(s) closer to the But than any ball of your opponent's team, you will get the points as many as the closer balls.
Count the score at the end of a mène (set).
Mène: The time from throwing the But to start a game until the last ball is thrown.
