Figure 2 is a perspective view of two players in their bases after the six players done shooting in the circles.
Figure 3. Illustrates a Bridges or broke that prevents the ball from going away.
Figure 4. Shows a section view of a round barlet club without any style.
Figure 5. Shows the same club with some styles.
Figure 6. Shows a rectangular barlet.
Figure 7. Illustrates a portable target area.
Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to Figure 1, which shows the game apparatus generally indicated 1. This is the starting point. This is where the ball is hit when either the ball goes out of bound, or when starting to play the game. The size of the starting point is at least 0.787 inches in diameter and is positioned on top of the target area.
