Tetherball


 * 1) Tetherball is the second most popular sport in camp, after 9 square (shameless plug alert). The concept is simple. Two people hit a ball tied to a rope around a metal pole in opposite directions. The first one to get the ball around the pole in  their direction to the point where it cannot move further wins. 
 * 2) Rules:


 * 1) You must call out the correct foul audibly when it is performed


 * 1) This must be reasonably soon after the foul itself (estimated 1-2 seconds after)
 * 2) If the foul is not called, or called too late, the penalty is void
 * 3) Off sides:


 * 1) There is a line on the tetherball court. Crossing it results in a penalty.
 * 2) If there is no line, people tend to use either the shadow or the holes on the side of the pole. 
 * 3) Any part of your body crossing the line is a penalty
 * 4) Ropes.


 * 1) Touching the rope holding the ball is a penalty.
 * 2) Any contact with the rope is a penalty
 * 3) There is an optional rule in which you may serve by grabbing the ropes to throw the ball
 * 4) Hold 


 * 1) Holding the ball is a penalty
 * 2) Holding the ball consists of 


 * 1) Keeping contact with the ball for more than two seconds
 * 2) Grabbing the ball
 * 3) This is a very hard to judge rule. It is best to have a third party witness to confirm the penalty. 
 * 4) Any penalty results in the opponent getting to serve from the point of the penalty.
 * 5) In case of:


 * 1) No ball:

The Law of Sporting applies (see page 18)
 * 1) Use shoe, tissue box, or backpack.
 * 2) Tie very securely.
 * 3) If none of those objects are present, you are not permitted to call “Ropes” every time you hit the string. Come on. It’s not funny anymore.
