PAC Designs’ Bike-polo Challenge 2010

Rules:
*Two teams of three players. Any type of bicycle is allowed.Handlebars must be plugged.
*Modified ski poles and plastic pipe are the most common materials to make mallets. The handle end of the mallet must be plugged.
*The ball will be a street hockey ball.
*Goals will be a pair of orange cones spaced one bike length apart.
*All games are timed.
*Start of a game: Each team will be stopped behind its own goal line and the ball will be positioned at center court. Play will begin with a “3 2 1 GO!” from the sideline.
*Players may not play the ball with their feet at any time.
*Scoring a goal must be made from what started as a hit. A hit is made from the end of a player’s mallet. A “shuffle” does not count as a goal; if the ball is shuffled through the goal, play continues uninterrupted.
*After a goal is scored, the team who scored returns to their half of the court. The team who was scored on takes possession of the ball.
*Call out the score after each goal.
*No passing “backward” through the goal.
*Players must not touch the ground or foot-down. Each time a player goes foot-down, that player is out of play and may not play the ball until they ride to the side line at center court and ring the bell. Then they may return to play. It is poor etiquette not to go immediately and directly to the tap-out bell once you go foot-down.
*Contact rules: “Like” contact is allowed. Player to player (body to body), except grabbing or pushing with hands. Mallet to mallet (generally, hitting another player’s mallet is poor etiquette if that player is not attempting to play the ball or in front of the goal, playing goalie). Bike to bike.
*Everything else is NOT allowed: Mallet to player, player to bike, mallet to bike, etc.
*Throwing of mallets is not allowed at any time, in any situation.
*Trash talking is allowed.
