Gameplay

A Skateball match is played by two teams on an ice court with steel walls and ball. There are several different courts with holes and other lethal obstacles. The game lacks any rules and any kind of contact is allowed.[4]

The game can be played by one or two players.[5] Each team has three players, one of them a goalkeeper. The object of the game is to score five goals or kill the three players of the opposite team.
