"In this clip, we are going to talk about the players. You need a minimum of two unless you are just going to practice because that is one way to get a little better at this game. But two people will play at it or we play here most of the time with four people. Two people on a team, one at each end from each team. And the way it works is we start off usually we don't toss a coin, we just have practice run and just let somebody point to a guy and he starts off. Pretty simple. But that is how we go about it. You are able to do this with teams. We have people that come in from other areas and sometimes we play tournaments that way. We are playing with teams. We have one from each time on each end so when my partner throws and he is choosing with color or number we are using on our shoes, then that is what I look at and that is what I throw back to him. So the way it works is the person who is throwing first is throwing both his shoes and then second person throws theirs. The person who shoots first is the person whose team scored. So if my team scores, then I get to shoot first. When we are deciding where there the point and on some of these things we get them pretty close so we have both players from one player from each team is here so nobody can be cheated and of course we are gentlemen, we wouldn't want to do that anyway. You've got a double Phil; two points. "
