			==Winning Conditions==
			The team with the most points after 90 minutes or whichever reaches 9 points is the winner. There is no overtime. If teams are tied, the game results in a draw.

			==Time==
			A game is set for 90 minutes total, broken up into three ''tries''. 1st and 3rd tries begin with a kickoff, determined by coin toss (winner of the toss picks which try they kick and receive). 2nd try begins with a ''pip-off'' from center pip.

			The clock does not stop during gameplay except during penalties and injuries. Teams are allowed 45 seconds during transitional moments to get set (ball changes hands, out of bounds, backstop).

	The overball field is (approximately) 100 meters long by 40 meters wide, with a goal area on each side that's about 10 meters deep. The goal area is called the ''shade''. The field is divided up into ten sections, each about 10 meters thick, called ''spills''. The center of the field, at the ''halfline'', is the ''ring'', and the center point on the field is called the ''center pip''. There is also one triangle dead center in the second spill on each side, which are called the ''back pips''. These back pips are used for penalty kicks and kickoffs. The center pip is only used at the start of the ~~game during~~ ''pip-off'', where the ball is placed on ~~a divet where an underground spring launcher punches~~ the ~~ball into the air~~.

	Players may catch the ball, but they can only run backwards or sideways with it, never forwards (players may run forward after gaining possesion of the ball as long as they stay within their spill).

A tackle puts the ball into the other side's possession with a ''stop'', which is when players are reset and that side starts with the ball in hand. During a stop, the other side must ''buffer'' by positioning in the adjacent ''spills''. The side in possession can only have a maximum of three players within the spill of the overball.
