The goal is simple: keep the ball in the air as long as possible without dropping it. Start close, then increase the distance. Ideal for warming up.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This is the most exciting group mode!<\/p>

  • Stand in a circle. The thrower calls out the target's name (e.g., \"Anna!\") and throws the ball.<\/li><\/ul>
    • The throw must land within approx. a 3-meter radius of the target. If the throw is bad, the thrower gets a penalty point and\/or is eliminated.<\/li><\/ul>
      • If the throw is good (within range), but the receiving player cannot catch it by the tail (or catches the ball part), the receiver gets a penalty point and\/or is eliminated.<\/li>

      • The winner is the last player remaining.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        Speed is key. As soon as you catch it, you must throw it immediately, maximum within a half-turn. Anyone who holds onto the ball too long gets a penalty point.<\/p>

        Pro Tips for better play: <\/b><\/p>

        • Aiming: <\/b>For more accurate aiming, stand perpendicular to the target and spin the ball in front of you.<\/li>
        • Grip: <\/b>For a comfortable throw, grab the tail at the second color section.<\/li>
        • Direction: <\/b>Spin clockwise<\/li><\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
