RULES:

1. Fouls

Call your own fouls if you’re fouled.
Host may also call fouls if clearly seen.
HOST HAS FINAL SAY ON ALL TOUGH CALLS.

2. Free Kicks

Opposing players must give 3 meters on all free kicks.
If the penalized team deliberately fails to give 3 meters or delays the restart, the kicking team may restart immediately with either a free kick or a throw-in from the spot of the foul.
Host raises one arm to signal an indirect free kick.

3. Handball Rules (Very Important)

Inside ~5 meters of goal:

Shot going toward goal + handball → automatic goal.
Ball that might go in OR might go over the goal within 1 meter + handball → automatic goal
(spin/curve can change the ball’s path last second).
Pass (not a shot) + handball → indirect free kick.

Outside 5 meters of goal:

Handball = direct free kick.
Last defender cannot use hands at all.

Any hand use away from the body on a shot, even if it isn't last defender = goal.

4. No Penalties / No Corners

No penalty kicks.
No corner kicks (small goals cause overcrowding and no real advantage).
Ball out over goal line → goal kick.

5. Sliding Rule (Safety First)

No sliding near players.
Sliding allowed only if nobody is close (example: saving a goal).
