Basics

Contrary to popular belief, triball is played with only one ball. It is called triball because three teams play at the same time (not two as in most other sports), and the field is triangular.

In the center of the field, there is a transparent plexiglass cylinder. The goal of the game is to throw the ball into the cylinder as often as possible.


Field

The field has the shape of an equilateral triangle with a side length of 25 m.

The cylinder (diameter 1 m, height 2 m, open on the top) is located at the centroid of the triangle.

Around the cylinder, there is a circle with a radius of 5 m marking the cylinder zone, which must not be entered by the players.

The corners of the triangle are called the home zones. That's where the players stand at the beginning of the game.
