Two teams play against each other in a limited playing area. A point is scored when a pass via a basketball board (alternative: defined zone on a wall) is caught by a teammate.
The following rules apply to the game:
- The ball may only be handled with a stick. A player may hold the ball in the basket for a maximum of 5 seconds.
- If a ball lands out of bounds, the player who puts the ball back into play can either run into the court with the ball or play a pass from the sideline (observe the 5-second rule).
- If the ball falls to the floor, players have the option of picking it up with their stick or "covering" it. To cover the ball, cover it with the basket of the stick. After covering the ball with the basket, the opponents must keep a distance of 3 metres and the player with the ball must make a pass (it is not possible to continue running after covering).
- An attack must be executed within 30 seconds.
- Intercrosse is played without contact between body/body and body/stick.
- The player with the ball may only run or stand (star step allowed). Walking is prohibited. When running, the stick must be held in both hands. Catching, throwing or "covering" is permitted with one hand.
- The ball may not be touched with the hand.
