How to play

The three teams are to stand or sit in different corners of the room with the bowl in front of them.
The skittles are to be place in the middle of the hall with equal distance from each team and each team at equal distance from each other.
At the start of the game the first team member of each team should go the centre of the hall get a skittle and take it to their bowl. Then the team member sits down and the next team member gets up and grabs a skittle from the middle of the hall and puts it in their bowl, and so on.
Once the skittles have gone from the middle of the hall the players are allowed to take the skittles from other teams bowls.
The first team to get four skittles in their bowl wins.

No one is allowed to carry more than on skittle at a time
Only one team member is to leave their base at a time.
Each member of the team should go in team rotation.
Skittles may only be taken from the opponents bowls when all of the skittles have gone from the middle of the hall.
All skittles must be placed in the bowls, skittles not in the bowl are not counted.
