How to Win

On the count of 3 the runners start to run back and forth on the inside Y's(yellow scrolls). The white runner gets the horizontal yellow scrolls to run on and the black runner gets the vertical yellow scrolls to run on.

Meanwhile, the throwers run across the outside yellow scrolls trying to hit the opposite runners with limestones and obsidians. The White thrower tries to hit the black runner and the black thrower tries to hit the white runner.

The center is known as a free spot where runners can not be hit. The Runners may only be in middle for 3 seconds at a time anymore than 3 is a disqualification. The team with most hits wins.

The game will be played until both teams run out of their 10 obsidian or 10 limestone. Battles are held in a one on one from, then winner advances to next round. Number and style of rounds will depend on numbers.
