We request you to kindly go through the rules and regulations before participating in the event.

For each strike, the player must position the striker within the baseline OR on one of the two circles at either end of the baseline. A striker within the baseline must touch both the front line and the rear line. The striker may not "cut the moon" - be placed partially within the baseline and partially within the circle.  The player must flick the striker with one finger so that it crosses the front baseline - it is not permitted to flick backwards or horizontally.  A piece that is on or behind the front baseline must not be struck by the striker until the striker has crossed the front baseline. In striking, the player's hand or arm must not cross the diagonal foul lines at either end of the baselin. For the very first turn, the player is allowed three attempts to "break" ie
disturb the central group of counters. It doesn't matter which piece the striker hits first and it doesn't matter if the striker hits no pieces. If a the striker pockets the Queen and/or one or more pieces of her own colour, the player retrieves the striker and takes another strike. If the player pockets no pieces or commits a foul, the turn finishes. A player may only pocket and cover the Queen if that player has already pocketed at least one piece of that player's colour. Should a player pocket the Queen before being permitted to cover it, the turn continues but the Queen is returned to the centre at the end of the turn. If a player pockets the Queen and one of her own pieces in the same turn, this counts and that player has covered the Queen, Such a player must have already pocketed at least one piece in order to cover the Queen as per normal. When a player pockets the Queen but does not cover it, the Queen is returned as near as possible to the centre circle by the opponent. Pieces returned to the centre can be placed on top of other pieces within the main circle. If pieces come to rest standing on their edge or overlapping another piece, they are left as they are until moved again in the normal course of play.  If the striker comes to rest under another piece, the striker should be removed with as little disturbance to the covering piece as possible. The striker is pocketed. The striker or any other piece leaves the board. A player pockets an opponent's piece.  If the Queen was also pocketed, it is returned to the centre by the opponent together with the penalty piece,  Any other pieces pocketed in the same strike remain pocketed.  A player pockets the final opponent's piece.  Regardless of whether the Queen has been covered, the opponent's piece is returned to the centre in addition to the penalty piece. A player pockets the final piece before the Queen has been covered.  In this case both the pocketed piece and a penalty piece are returned to the centre. A player contravenes the rules for striking. A player touches any piece in play, other than the striker. The first player to strike fails to break the counters in three attempts
