Bokabola is played in accordance with a set of rules known as the Laws of the Game. The ball is 56–71 cm (22–28 in) in circumference and known as the Bokaball. The two teams compete to get the ball into the other team's net, thereby scoring 5 points. Players may use any part of their body to strike or pass the ball, and mainly use their hands. The team that scores more points at the end of the game is the winner; if both teams have scored an equal number of goals, either a draw is declared or the game goes into extra time or a penalty shootout, depending on the format of the competition. Each team is led by a captain who has only one official responsibility as mandated by the Laws of the Game: to represent their team in the coin toss prior to kick-off or penalty kicks.
