[edit] Rules
[edit] Australia
A team consists of one qwik, one chain, three enforcers and up to three substitutes. The goal of the game is to defend your qwik, allowing them to make a goal, and to prevent the opponents from scoring a goal. The qwik is the only one who is allowed to handle the skull. Each player aside from the qwik wields a long weapon or two short weapons. If player is hit by a weapon they are down for five stones unless it was a head or groin shot, in which case the player that hit with the weapon is down for ten stones. A touch is counted as a hit and it is not encouraged to hit with full force.
[edit] Equipment
What is used to score goals in jugger is called the "skull", which is a ball made using two pool noodle connecters (not an actual dog skull as in The Blood of Heroes.
The weapons used in jugger are very similar to LARPing weapons. There are strict regulations on the length of weapon and amount of padding used. The weapons in jugger vary in type for different countries.
