The infield has a square shape, with a base in every corner. The distance between bases is. The fair territory has a square shape of per side, in which one of the corners coincides with the home plate. The batter’s box has a square shape of per side. It is placed outside of the fair territory and is built on the extension of the two foul lines crossing each other at the home plate corner. Ideal shape and size of all bases is a square of per side. In order to avoid collisions, the first base is "double". The ideal height of the fences is. However, every league or tournament organisation may decide on other ways of limiting the field of play, such as using existing walls or marking the ground.
Offense
The act of hitting takes place while a hitter is entirely in the batter's box and shall remain within the lines until the hit ball gets into fair territory. The ball has to be hit hard either with a palm or a fist. The first bounce has to be at a minimum distance of from home plate. The batter in the action of running towards first base, after putting the ball in play, has to touch the base. In order to stay safe, the batter has to remain in the area included within the base and the -meter safe area attached to it. How the offensive players eliminate themselves due to illegal behaviors/actions:
By touching on one of the batter's box lines while hitting the ball
By hitting the ball in foul territory
By being hit by a legally hit ball
By not making a hit ball touch the fair ground at least once before touching the fences or going above the fences
By not respecting the batting order and hitting in place of a teammate
By a runner leaving the base before the batter hits the ball
By passing a teammate while in the action of running the bases
By being tagged while two or more runners are on the same base. The one behind in the batting order shall be called "out"
In a situation with bases loaded and two outs, if the runner at third base has to be the next hitter in the batting order, the runners at first and second bases each advance one base, the runner on third base goes to hit, and a pinch runner is placed on first base. In teams with only five players, the first player called out in that inning becomes pinch runner on first base. The batting order shall always be respected.
Defense
The five players of the defensive team shall all be in fair territory when the batter hits the ball. The defensive team shall eliminate three opponents in each inning so as to switch sides and become the offensive team. How the defense makes "outs":
By touching the base to which a runner is "forced" to run
By catching a hit ball before it first touches the ground
By tagging a runner when he/she is not on a base
If the ball leaves the court due to a defensive error, each runner is awarded an extra base.
End of the game
The game ends at the end of the fifth inning if one team has scored more runs than the opponent. Should the Home Team be ahead on the score after the Guest Team has completed its fifth offensive inning, the game is over and the Home Team wins. In case of a tie game, the teams shall play and complete extra inning until one team scores more runs than the opponent. The player scheduled to hit fifth for the sixth inning is placed on first base as a runner to start the inning. The players scheduled to hit fifth and fourth in the seventh inning are placed on first and second base, and so on with three runners to start the following innings until the game ends. A game is over if a team leads by 15 runs at the end of the third inning or by 10 at the end of the fourth. Should a team reach a 10-run advantage during the top of the fifth inning, the game shall be completed.
