General
If in this regulation he, participant, player etc. is used, this also includes the female member.

How to play
Each game starts with 30 discs. The player is expected to have counted the discs before the start of the game. A disc is in play, as soon as it has passed the control line under the back side od the start bar completely. Once a disc is in play, noone is allowed to touch it anymore. Exceptions to this rule are: A disc which gets out of the board A disc which enters the compartment over the gate bar A disc which gets out of the compartment otherwise than through the gate bar and somehow: a. returns in the same compartment b. returns in one of the other compartments c. remains on one of the partition walls In these cases the jury takes the disc out of play A returning disc which has passed the control line under the back side of the start bar completely. After permission of the jury, the player has to remove the disc from the board and deliver it to the jury. A disc is in the compartment if it has passed, under the start bar, the front side of the gate bar completely. In case of doubt the jury must shove a straight gate stopper along the front side of the gate bar. If the disc moves, it is not in the compartment. The jury piles the discs of 4 for the first 4 discs int compartmet. The next piles on 3. The bottom disc of the first pile in all compartments is put loose from the back side, maximal 5 millimetres.

Score counting
Score counting is done as follows: in each compartment 1 disc = 20 points in each compartment 2 discs = 40 points in each compartment 3 discs = 60 points, etc. In case any compartment contains more than the others, these discs will count for the value indicated on the compartment. Example: Each compartment contains 5 discs plus an extra disc in compartment with value 4. The score is then 100 + 4 = 104. The maximum possible score is therefor 148 points.

Game sequence
A shovel turn is composed of 3 subturns to be played in the following sequence: The player counts the 30 discs. After permission from the jury the player shoves these 30 discs and clearly signifies when no more discs are left. The jury decides, which discs stay in the compartments and returns the remaining discs, including the discs according to exceptions (see above) The jury piles the discs and then allows the player to shove the remaining discs.Pilling is in conformity with the game regulations.The player checks the returned discs and then starts the second subturn. After the second subturn the procedure as described in c. and d. is followed. The player shoves the remaining discs for the last time (the third subturn) The jury again decides which discs stay in the compartments and counts the score. The jury clearly informs the player of the score and after agreement of the player, the score is noted on the match card which thereafter, if required, is shown to the player. If all discs are in the compartments after the first or after the second subturn, no following subturn is played and the jury counts the score.

Conditions
Upon choice, a player is allowed to play from a standing or seated position, but always remains behind the board during and after the game. Upon request a player ia allowed to play 5 discs as a trial attempt. After the start of a turn, eventually after playing the 5 trial discs, it is not allowed to move the board anymore.The board is to be replaced in its orginal position by each player. A player is not allowed to change the equipment by use of gliding materials or by meantime polishing. If a disc breaks during the game, the whole turn must be played again. If a game is played with more than 30 discs, the turn is cancelled and must be played again. If a game is played with less than 30 discs, no correction is possible. During the game the jury is not allowed to talk and / or to act which may influence the player. Only upon request of the player the jury is allowed to indicate how many discs are in the compartments. It is not allowed to put discs on the start bar.

Rules at league matches
The jury is not allowed to have his own match card on the table. b. If 148 points have been scored in one or two subturns, this must be noted behind the boardnumber with the indication 1x or 2x. If the jury notes wrong, the correct number must be filed in and paraphed by the ring organizer.This must also be done behind the boardnumber. In case of deletions, whatsoever, the lowest legible number counts. The jury passes the match card to the jury of the next board. After the score of the 10th turn the jury gives the copy of the match card to the player and the orginal to the ring organizer.In no case the complete match card may be given to the player. If it can proved on the spot, that a player has changed a score to his advantage, the match organizer will immediately take punitive measures. These can be deduction of one turn or even deduction of the score of the total 10 turns. The player and the jury are not allowed to smoke, eat or drink during the game.
