The rubber ball game is a street version of the classic baseball or softball game. It is a fast ,
young and dynamic discipline with the basic fundamentals of baseball or softball, and can be
played everywhere since it only requires a rubber ball to play.
The number of players on the field during a rubber ball game is 5 at all times, and their
positions are: 1st Base, 2nd Base, 3rd Base, Shortstop, and Middlefield.
In this discipline you can play from a single player to as many as want to play.
The rules of the game are similar to those of baseball but with some changes, among which
the following stand out:
- Since a bat is not used, batting is represented by a blow that the player hits the ball with one
of his hands, throwing the ball into the air.
- It can be played in any free space, and the three initial bases (first, second and third) and
rubber or home are set.
- If the ball gets caught in a tree , on the roof of a building or not in a similar place, it is
declared out by rule.
- The bagasse can be considered valid through the air (fly) and also through the floor (rolling)
or perhaps only through the floor.
- Three outs are considered, as in baseball , to finish each of the 5 innings already established
or a different amount defined by the players.
- The winning team is the one that achieves the most runs at the end of the established
innings.
