Basic Football table Rules
a) The winner of the coin toss can choose the side of table OR first serve (kickoff).
b) The ball is placed at or under the foot of any 5-bar figure.
c) Play may only begin when the opponent has been asked and has agreed that they are ready.
d) The team with possession of the ball on the 5-bar at serve must make one 5-bar pass before taking a shot or passing to another bar.
i) If the server shoots and scores without making a 5-bar pass, that goal will not count, and the opponent reserves the ball.
ii) If, after the ball is stopped and opponent ready, the server loses control of the ball before making a 5-bar pass, the opponent has choice of continuing play from table position or re-serving the ball themselves.
e) Subsequent 5-bar kickoffs go to the player or team conceding a goal.
f) Where play is re-started from a 2-bar kickoff, the opponent must agree they are ready, and the player with possession must stop the ball for at least one second before passing or shooting.
g) The loser of the coin toss pays for the first game, with payment alternating thereafter.
h) After every game, players must change sides unless both teams agree otherwise.
