is further split into the advance and return triangles and squares. At the intersection of the lines inside the game area and the pitch limits or other lines within the game area, there are circles which determine the positions of the midfielders ("mijlocași") and side players ("mărginași"). The 1m and 3m semicircles are used for batting and serving. A waiting line is drawn for attacking players to wait their turn to bat. Players There are two teams of 11 players, one attacking side or "at bat" ("la bătaie") and one defending side or "at catch" ("la prindere"). The roles switch at half time. The defending players are placed in the following positions: 3 midfielders ("mijlocași") 3 advance side players ("mărginași de ducere") 3 return side players ("mărginași de întoarcere") 1 back player ("fundaș") that is free to move within the back zone 1 forward player ("fruntaș") that is free to move within the batting zone The attacking players change roles as the game progresses. The roles are chronologically ordered this way: waiting one's turn serving the ball batting waiting to enter the game (make a run) running the advance corridor staying in the back zone running the return corridor Each team has a captain ("căpitan" or "baci""). The midfielder 2 is usually used as captain because he can throw the ball at an attacking player in any game position. For this reason, the midfielder 2 is also known as a baci. Each team has a maximum of 5 substitutes available. Scope of the game The teams have very different roles depending on whether they are at bat or at catch. At bat players are tasked to open a play and run the lanes until they cross the escape line. At catch players are tasked to hit the players running the lanes with the ball. There can be a maximum of two players running each lane at the same time. A player can be hit in both lanes once. Rules The team at bat is selected by a ritual where the players have to grab the bat, thrown by the referee, and the last one to be able to place at least four fingers on the bat wins. The game begins with the team at bat, with one of the players throwing the ball while another player of the same team has to hit it with a wooden bat ("bâtă") and
