2.4.3 Which opposing team has the right to choose.

2.5 A command that did not have the right to choose automatically gets the second option. that is, if the team that won the right to choose chooses the first move, then the other team must choose the side of the table. Accordingly, if a side of the table was chosen, a first move should be made.

A repeat throw is made if the teams agree or are determined by the referee. Otherwise, the throw is believed to have been made.

3.6 As soon as the ball touches the water in the glass at the moment of the throw, it counts as thrown in.

3.23 At the moment of the throw, the attacking team must not touch or lean on the stands of tables, glasses or glasses, for example, to maintain balance after the throw. If a table, glass, or glass stand is touched, the tumbler thrown in is not counted as thrown in. The player doesn't get a chance to repeat the pitch (make a pitch).

3.26 If, at the moment of the pitch, an opposing team player causes, intentionally or inadvertently, factors that may alter the trajectory of the ball, such as blowing or causing air flow, then the opposing team is awarded a penalty - one glass is removed.

4. Additional provisions

4.1 If, during a throw, the ball on the table is rolled back to the player who made the throw, the throw is not over (within the meaning of 3.10) and the player catches the ball, then the throw may be repeated as a “trickshot” - the throw must be executed backwards or thrown through the back. The ball-attacking team should only take once the ball has crossed the center line. The rest of the rule acts like a regular throw.

4.2 During the game, only objects belonging to the game may be placed on the table – water glasses, dropped (removed) glasses, beverage glasses, glass stand, stopwatch, organizer's advertising, etc. in such a way as not to disturb the course of the game – the removed glasses are placed away from the glass area; etc. Other items should be removed immediately if one of the players so requests. Except where otherwise specified by the judge.

4.3 If a team dumps one or more of their glasses or removes them from a glass area that does not have a ball thrown into it, they are considered to be removed glasses and are not restored.

4.4 If a team dumps one or more of its glasses or removes them from the area of the glasses in which the balls have been thrown, they shall be restored by replacement or replenishment, placed in the previous positions and the balls thrown in as they were before the glass or glasses were tipped or removed.

4.5 If the attacking team dumps the opponents' water glass or glasses, they are restored from the attacking team's water glasses. If you can't do that (there are more tumbled glasses than you can restore), the attacking team is credited with a loss for as many glasses as opponents had before they were overturned. In case the team already has a glass thrown in, the opposing team's glasses are restored with those that don't have a ball thrown in. If that is not possible, the ball is removed before being restored.

4.6 Players are not entitled to leave the table during the game. Except in the following cases:

4.6.1. The player goes after his or her ball;

4.6.2 It is necessary to replace a lost ball;

4.6.3 It is necessary to replace or supplement the overturned glasses;

4.7.1 After the reference time signal, the team may not make an additional throw, if one of the team representatives has discarded and the time has expired, then no additional throw may be made, but if there is the same number of glasses, then continue until the first glass thrown in;

4.7.2 The number of glasses in the glass fields is the same for both teams. The extension ends as soon as the first glass has been thrown in with no chance for the team to complete the move.
