The Rules: the different reasons a match can be stopped for a bit are: Injury: Most frequently to the legs or concussion Foul: There are many ways a foul can be called, maybe the most notable is that a player is knocked off the field with the zam in their hand or the player begins to bleed by a player on the opposing team. Layout: a field is set out in the same shape as a soccer pitch but is measured up in 10 metres the idea is to see how many metres you run before you get the ball touching a hoarding on the opposite side of the field. if you get the zam taken away from you then no points are awarded and the game goes on. a match is split into 10 parts, each lasting 30 minutes with 5 minute intervals between. The referee wears a yellow and blue striped shirt and the other two officials wear orange and black. this years world player of the year:
