Here's the quick version of everything you need to know to get started
playing chadminton.
-
Each period or game begins with a face-off - both chads must be
present
-
After a score, the scoring team serves the ball to their opponent
- You can screen or hip-check players with your side
-
DON'T hit players with your scoop/stick, hit them harder than
necessary, or hit anyone on their blind side/back
- DON'T throw your scoop, but you can throw the pillow
-
DON'T intentionally kick the ball or touch it with your hands,
unless you're playing goalie
- You can stiff arm another player's scoop but DON'T grab it
-
If a scoop breaks, the team in possession retains the ball;
otherwise, it's a face-off
-
If the goalie picks up the ball with the scoop only, he/she can run
with the ball
-
Otherwise, the goalie must throw the ball in with the scoop and
cannot leave the crease
-
Offensive players may not enter the crease of the goal they're
attacking if the goalie is present
-
A throw in from out of bounds in the team's attacking zone must be
halfway between the goal and the corner
-
The ball is out of bounds if it is completely across the boundary or
the player who has possession is completely across the boundary
-
DON'T hold the mouth of your scoop against any part of your body to
keep the ball in the scoop
