Object of the Game

Of the game is for the four outside players to keep possession and keep the ball away from the O team. Teams score a point when they see an opportunity to pass the ball in between the two defenders and the pass reaches their team-mate who is diagonally across the grid.

If a team makes a mistake, those two go in the middle and the two defenders go to the outside cones.
