The length of the game is approx 2-3 min. The game starts on the first whistle and the game stops on the second. When the game is stopped it is important that there is a winner on each pitch. In the case of a draw the winner is decided on the throw of a stick (flat or round) . Once every pitch has a winner all the winners move up one pitch only (so if the player is on pitch 6 he moves to pitch 5). The losers do the oppposite, they move one pitch down. The winner on pitch 1 and the loser on the lowest pitch have nowhere to move so they stay on their pitches.Once everyone has moved the games can start again."},{"linkHref":"drills/Hockey/Eliminating-a-Player/1v1-on-both-sides.jsp","fileType":"0","pracBGColor":"#a0d038","pracSportDir":"viewer/movies/hockey","fileName":"h100148","pracTitle":"1v1 on both sides","pracDescription":"The attacker tries to keep the ball on their strong side.
