The players are divided into two teams, fielders and batters. The bases are marked with a chalk circle. Both teams stand in the fielding area with each player in their own small chalk circle. Each member of the batting team is given a number and they bat in order. The remaining of the batting team stand in a circle. The batter gets the best of three hits in which they must run and they must not stop at a base. The runner can be caught or bowled out as normal. The other members of the batting team may try to stop the fielders getting the ball by passing it to each other and stopping the ball. They must not keep the ball within their circle for more than 1 second.
