Long stick holder must defends himself. Attacker screams loud during his attack and try to undermine opponent's morale."Choobbaz" should only play by swinging the bat and yelling and threatening the opponent (no blow to the opponent). Attacker holds the stick in front of his face during attack and spins while beating on opponent's stick and then beats on his stick by contemplating his legs. The attacker is allowed to beat one time (it's not important to heat the opponent's stick), then the player who has the longer stick, grabs the shorter stick and another person takes the longer one. Game continues the same until the end. Sometimes it may be a woman or a man to play. ¹
