If the shaft goes entirely through the hoop so that it does not fall on the javelin, that counts nothing.

If both javelins catch on the hoop, that is a draw and neither player can count the point made.

If on this run and throwing of the hoop and javelins neither of the players scores a count, the player at the other end who is the partner of the one who threw the hoop now takes the hoop to throw it.

He and his opponent who stands beside him now start on a run; the hoop is thrown and the javelins hurled as before.

In this way the players at the ends of the course alternate in throwing the hoop North or South, but the right to throw the hoop belongs to the player who makes the best point.
