sides of the bete-ombro bat are flat, so it wouldn't be possible to call "Hills or Flats"). There is a rule reminiscent of strikeouts in baseball: if the ball goes behind the batter 3 times, then they are out. The game ends when one team gets 12 or 25 points, though there may be additional conditions. In culture In some parts of Brazil, the expression "largar os betes" (to drop the bats) is used to mean "to give up".
