The Hood River Rule's Breakdown:

All players must wear a PFD and full face mask helmet.

Referees are in control of the game at all times.

Paddles must not make contact with a kayaker or kayak. Flipping or holding
of opponent's body, gear, or kayak will result in a foul.

Playing, or attempting to play, the ball with the paddle within arms reach
OR reaching across the bow of a kayak with the paddle is ILLEGAL!! A foul
will be called and control of the ball with changes teams.

Possession of the ball is considered ball in hand or in a position to reach
the ball with hands (3 feet).

Blocking the ball with paddles can only be held straight up and 3 feet away
from opponent.

If two players are "wrestling" for control of the ball with their hands, a
jump ball will be called.

Spearing or riding up over an opponents kayak is ILLEGAL and will result in
a foul or change of control.

Possession of the ball can only be for 5 seconds.

To paddle with the ball, you must throw the ball 3 feet (1 meter) in the
direction of travel and paddle to the ball. Paddling with the ball on your
deck is traveling.

TACKLING can only occur:

a.. When the tackled player has possession of the ball.
b.. By an open hand to the upper arm, or shoulder, from the side (not the
back or chest, us girls have had some great chest grabs).
c.. When players are clear of lane lines and side of pool--one boat length
away from lanes lines and pool edges.
The goalkeeper cannot be contacted he/she has possession of the ball within
a 6 foot area of the goal.

PLAY:

Each team will have 5 players and subs will sit at the end of the playing
field.

There will be three games played. Each game is 2 ten minute halves with a
three minute half-time.

The ball is thrown in the middle of the playing field at the start of the
game. One opponent from each team paddles for the ball.

Three whistle blasts mean 30 second warning to start time and end of game.
