You will be surprised to learn that table hockey (NH) is not just a child's game, but a real sport. There are even professional teams of players in NH, in our country they are part of the Russian Federation of NH (RFNH). This sport develops reaction, coordination, endurance and thinking outside the box.
Instructions
Step 1
It is recommended to play HX in a T-shirt or short-sleeved shirt so that nothing interferes with the movement of your hands. It is better to remove jewelry that can catch on the poles - metal knitting needles, with the help of which the miniature (figure of a hockey player) is controlled.
Step 2
The table on which the "glade" is installed (as the game itself is called as a whole in professional language) must have an absolutely horizontal plane at a height of about 75 cm from the floor.
Step 3
Lubricate the poles or runners on which the miniatures walk with silicone grease for free movement without friction. Set the count strips to zero to the center of the "clearing". Check the washer - it should be smooth and free of burrs.
Step 4
The essence of the game is to throw as many pucks as possible into the opponent's goal using miniatures, controlling them with levers. The duration of a professional match (according to the RFNH rules) is five minutes (300 seconds). One miniature must own the puck for no more than 5 seconds. The winner is the player who has thrown the most goals into the opponent's goal.
Step 5
Before the start of the game, throw in the puck: the miniatures are stationary in their places, the thrower is holding the fifth pole with one hand, the puck with the other. Raise it 10-20 cm above the surface of the field above the throw-in point (it is marked on the field). Now release the puck so that it flies vertically to the face-off point. After the puck reaches the throw-in point, play is open. Players should only touch the puck in miniatures using poles and levers.
Step 6
If during the game the puck flew out of the "clearing", make a second throw-in.
