FOOSBALL RULES

1.        Toss a coin and choose heads or tails. The winner can choose the ball or the side.

2.        Before serving the ball, the player must ask the opponent if he is ready. The ball must touch twfigurines and after 1 second, the game can begin.

3.        The team who scored the last goal has the serve.

4.        The ball is in play when it is moving across the field. If the ball hits the top of the table wall and enters the field, the game continues.

5.        If the ball is airborne, it is still considered as the ball in the game. The moment the ball touches a surface outside of the foosball table, the ball is considered dead ball.

6.         Do not touch the flying ball until it touches a surface.

7.         Dead ball is considered when the ball stops moving, and it is out of reach for both teams.

8.         Dead ball can be picked up and served by the same team who served before.
