Editing Rules of Buce/detailed (section)

==General Rules==

*'''No one is to enter the out-of-bounds [[square]] surrounding the [[bin]]'''. If a player enters, or lands in the out-of-bounds area, and touches the hackeysack, a player, or inhibits the current play '''in any way''', they are liable to concede a penalty to the other team, from the point where the player entered the square.

*A '''serve''' is defined when a player ''starts'' the play of the game by kicking the hackeysack from their hands. This happens either to start the match, to continue the game where the other team dropped the hackeysack, or to restart when the other team placed the hackeysack outside the boundaries of the field.
**A player who is serving the sack can not serve the sack to himself or score off the serve; the sack has to hit/go into the bin AFTER coming in contact with another player for the points to count.
**No serve is to be kicked more than 6 metres in length from where the hackeysack lands. If this is breached, the other team will take a serve '''exactly from where''' the hackeysack breached the 6 metre limit of the original fouling serve.
**When a player is serving, '''no''' other player is allowed to inhibit the serve '''until''' the hackeysack has been kicked by the server. This means, in more common situations, that the blocker is not allowed to kick away the hackeysack after the server has dropped the hackeysack, but before the server has actually kicked it (ie. mid serve).

*A penalty is exactly like a serve, except there is '''no''' limit to how far the sack can be kicked (the 6 metre law does not apply). Also, any points scored directly from the penalty kick '''do''' apply, and are counted. The sack does '''not''' need to come into contact with another player prior to hitting the bin.
**Note: The Double Point rule does not apply to penalties.

*The sack may come in contact with any part of the body except the '''forearm''' and the '''hand'''. If this happens, it is a handball, and a penalty is awarded to the other team. If the hackeysack comes into contact with the bicep of a player, and would not normally hit that players body, then is is a handball. If it hits the players bicep when it would otherwise hit the players body, then it is not-intentional and is play on (for example: if the hackeysack hits a player from side on, into the bicep, but the sack would have hit the player's body anyway, it is play on, and a penalty is not awarded).

*If a player stalls the sack, they cannot move with it, only pivot or pass it off.

*When a team is serving, one member of the opposing team has a right to stand '''exactly where''' the hackeysack landed, in order to block the pass. It is the '''servers''' responsibility to move likewise to this rule, and step backwards (which is defined in relation to the server facing '''their attacking''' goal) a metre or two, in order to kick it over/around the player.
**The server can not move to the side to kick, as the blocker can '''only''' stand where the sack landed.
**Note: The 6 Metre Serving Rule applies from where the hackeysack landed, so stepping backwards will '''not''' inhibit the players' serving distance.
