Game idea:
Two equally sized pitches are divided by a centre line. The sky of both teams is located behind the baseline of the opposing team's pitch. One player is in the sky at the start of the game. During the game, each team tries to shoot the opposing players from their own pitch. Whoever is hit moves to the sky and can continue to try to hit opposing players with the ball from there. The player who is in the sky at the start of the game enters the playing field when a team-mate hits the ball for the first time. Anyone who catches a thrown ball keeps their life. The first team to run out of players loses the game.
Variations:
- A player who catches an opponent with the ball from the sky may return to the playing field.
- After a player lies down on his stomach in the sky, he may immediately attempt to run back into the playing field. If they are touched by an opponent while crossing the opponent's pitch, they must return to the sky.
- Two players can sneak out of the sky by piggybacking. If they are touched by an opponent while crossing the opponent's playing field, they must return to the sky.
- The last player in the playing field has several lives.
- There are 1-2 Swedish boxes in the playing field that can be used as cover.
- Each player (except those in the sky) places a cone in the playing field. If a cone is knocked over (by the ball or by touching it), the player who placed the cone goes to heaven.
- This variant begins in the same way as the basic form ends. One player is in the playing field, the rest start in the sky. The players in the sky try to hit the players in the field. If they succeed, they are allowed to enter the playing field, which continues to fill up. This makes it increasingly easier for the players in the sky to enter the playing field as the number of targets increases. Players hit in the playing field remain there. Which team is the first to run out of players in the sky?
- Each team secretly chooses a king and a jester. The sports director is informed of the choice. As soon as the king is chosen, the game is over. The jester cannot be hit and can therefore protect all players (including the king).
- Each team numbers its players in secret and gives the order to the sports director
