General Overview of Buce

• The aim of the game is to kick/project the hackeysack into the Bin.
  • If the hackeysack enters the bin, the team who scored is awarded 2 points. If the hackeysack touches any part of the bin but doesn't go in, the team who scored is awarded one point.

A Typical Buce field diagram, where the black squares around the bins are the out-of-bounds lines, and the dark blue squares around them are the double-point lines.

• Around the bin is a marked square. The square is (by league specifications) 2.9 metres.
  • When it comes to the square's rules, the spirit of the law is that no one can be in the square at all times. It is an out of bounds zone.
  • However, the more complex rule is that if a player (either defender or attacker) makes a motion for the hackeysack and one foot lands in the square, they will not be penalised. However, it cannot be their "base foot", ie. the foot they are using to ground themselves
