The sport combines speed and strength as well as teamwork and a high level of fitness — one outfield player can cover up to two miles in one game alone.

The playing area is ЗО X 20 meters with a minimum of 2 meters of depth.

The game is played in four quarters, each quarter being eight minutes in length with two-minute intervals between quarters.

The home team usually wear white caps and the visiting team wear coloured (traditionally blue). Goalkeepers must wear red caps to make them easily identifiable to the referees. Caps are numbered from 1 to 13 with goalkeepers wearing 1 and 13. Only seven players per team are allowed in the water at one time.

Players cannot touch the bottom or sides of the pool. Except for the goalkeeper, players may handle the bright yellow colour ball with only one hand.

Penalty shots are taken from 5 meters directly in front of the goal.

There are ordinary fouls and major fouls. Major fouls result is a temporary 20-second removing.
