How does the game work?

Duration:

A game lasts 72 minutes, comprising four 18-minute quarters. There are five-minute intervals at the end of the first and third quarters and a 15-minute break at half-time.

Teams:

Each team has 15 players on the field. There are six defenders, six forwards, two midfielders and a goalkeeper, plus eight interchange players.

Scoring:

At either end of the ground are two point posts and two goal posts with a crossbar and soccer-style net between the goal posts.

A goal (worth six points) is scored when the ball is kicked or knocked (not handpassed) into the net.

An over (three points) is scored when the ball goes over the crossbar but between the goal posts and is worth three points.

A behind (one point) is scored when the ball is kicked or directed between the goal and point posts.

If the ball bounces back into play after hitting any of the four posts or the crossbar, play-on is called.
