Game Rules

01Player

Each team consists of 5 players, aiming to control the drone ball, score goals, and defend their own goal. Only the striker is allowed to score.

Each team should have 5 players as a general rule.
A match can proceed normally with a minimum of 3 players at the start of a set.
Only the striker is allowed to score.
If the striker is unable to continue playing, the guide can take over the striker's role after the striker formally declares forfeiture and the head referee approves it.

02Score

A goal is counted when the striker's drone ball fully enters the goal from the front to the back.
However, if the player is offside, the score will not be counted, even if the ball fully enters the goal.
Additionally, if the drone ball bounces back before completely enter the goal, the score is considered invalid.

03Defense

Defenders can enter through their own goal from the front, not from the back.
If more than half of the drone ball enters the goal and is then pulled back, it is considered as a penalty.

Offside

If the striker enters the opponent’s goal in any direction, the team is automatically offside and cannot attempt to score.

To clear the offside, all players must return behind the half-line to their team’s area.

If a drone ball remains uncontrolled in the opponent’s area, offside is not cleared until the player announces set abandonment and puts down the controller.
