The rules of the sport are clear, with teams of five players – four outfield cyclists and a goalkeeper – playing on a rectangular pitch between 80m and 100m long and between 40m and 70m wide, with goals four-metres wide and 2.75-metres high. “The goals are about half the size of soccer goals and the ball is bigger than a tennis ball – it’s about the size of a grapefruit – and the mallet is 30 inches [12cm] long, with a teak head,” explains Connon.
The bikes have fixed wheels and no gears, with the saddle over the rear wheel. Matches consist of four chukkas, or periods, of 15 minutes, with a break of five minutes between chukkas.
Players must carry the mallet in their right hand and hold the handlebar with their left hand, and they cannot touch the ground with any part of their body when playing the ball, but they can swing as high as they wish with the mallet when hitting the ball.
