In the event the ball carrier is stopped while in possession of the ball, they must toss the ball away from them for the other players to fight over and resume advancement. Generally, there are no teams, every individual is out for themselves. The end of the game may come by any of the various rules (time limit, score limit, injury, or whatever). It is an unruly game without any standards except the concept of taking the ball over a plane and attempting to take it to the other. There are no rules. The object is to score with the ball by any means. Only civility requires movement of the ball without injury.
