Description and Graphics
The teams in the middle try to keep the ball against each other with the help of the wall players. The walls have special roles, since the players without ball help the team in possession by moving on the line continuously, the wall players with balls control the game to be able to pass their ball when it's needed. When the free wall player outside gets the ball from the middle, his same sided mate plays the other ball to one player of the team in possession.
If the team loses the ball, the roles are automatically switched and they try to win the ball back.
Both teams can use the help of the wall players.
