Spinning the Rods |
| |
Spinning of the rods is illegal. Spinning is defined as the rotation of any soccer figure more than 360 degrees before or more than 360 degrees after striking the ball. In calculating the 360 degrees you do not add the degrees spun prior to striking the ball to the degrees spun after striking the ball. |

If a ball is advanced by an illegal spin the opposing team will have the option of continuing play from the current position or to serve the ball. |

Spinning the Rods |
| |
Spinning of a rod which does not advance and/or strike the ball does not constitute an illegal spin. If a player's spinning rod hits the ball backwards into his own goal, it will count as a goal for the opposing team. Spinning of a rod away from the ball (when there is no possession) is not considered an illegal spin, but may be ruled as a distraction. |

If an ungrasped rod is spun by the force of a ball hitting a player figure on the rod, the spin will be considered legal (example: a two-man shot in singles hitting the three-man). |
