Section 7: Violations & Penalties
All throws must be released from the agreed throwing distance of 3 to 5 meters. A throw released from closer than the agreed distance does not count and is not rethrown; the throw is simply lost from that player's 5 for the round.
A player may not take more than 5 throws in a round. Any extra throw is void and scores nothing, regardless of whether it enters the trash can.
Only a crumpled paper ball may be thrown, and the trash can may not be moved, tilted, or touched while a throw is in the air. A make achieved by interfering with the can does not score.
Whether a made throw counts as a swish, bank shot, rimmer, or standard make is judged by the group, and disputed throws are resolved by group agreement before the next throw is taken. During sudden death, the same violations apply from the double distance.
