In this segment I'm going to talk to you about some rules. The most important rule is out of bounds and it's real easy to explain. In this court we got a little cement track that is our out of bounds and it's as easy as if you're the blue ball and you hit your ball and it rolled out of bounds, well your turn ends and you actually take your mallet and it's one mallet back in, but your turn has ended and you've got to wait your next round to hit again. Another way for that to happen also is if your ball was to hit another ball but his ball stayed in bounds but yours went out of bounds, the same thing happens. You have to measure, you lose your turn and everything goes. Now here's another scenario. If you were to hit your ball, and you hit the red ball and the red ball went out of bounds, well the red ball does not lose turn. It's brought back into play and as long as you stay in bounds you're fine and if it comes to be red's turn he doesn't lose a turn for going out of bounds or anything like that. The other way is the same thing, if you knock both balls out of bounds at the same time, the red ball will go a mallet's length in, the blue ball will also come back in a mallet's length away, but the blue ball would lose a turn because you're the one that forced that actual penalty or that actual rule.
