Description and Graphics

Teams try to keep the possession with the help of the neutral players. To score the attacking team has to pass the ball into one of the small grids in the corners of the big field and one of the team-mate has to receive the ball in it. The defending team tries to intercept the ball and change to attack to be able to score. The players in defence are restricted to intercept the ball in the target areas.
