Game Overview - Handoffs

  1. Teammates may exchange balls when they are next to one another.
  2. One skater can place the ball in his teammate's hand(s). Alternatively, one skater can grab/take the ball from his teammate.
  3. Handoffs may cross boundaries between zones. Example: a Fielder can reach with their arms across the line and handoff the ball to a Dodger so long as neither skater touches the wrong side of the line with their skates. Likewise a Base Dodger can reach across and handoff to the Wing Dodger standing in the Wing zone.

 Details - Special Cases - Exceptions

With version 2.0 of the rules teammates can pass the ball to one another. However, if they are close enough to hand the ball over a line, they may choose to do so (perhaps to avoid the chance of dropping the ball).
