THERE IS ZERO PHYSICAL CONTACT BETWEEN PLAYERS.
THERE IS ZERO BULLYING OF ANYONE.
IF SOMEONE ISN'T FOLLOWING THE RULES, THE MANAGER NEEDS TO BE TOLD IMMEDIATELY.

- THE GAGA PIT IS USED ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE USE. IF A GAME IS ALREADY IN PROGRESS, ANY NEW PLAYERS HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL ALL THE PLANNED ROUNDS OF THAT GAME ARE OVER. IF A SET GROUP OF PLAYERS ARE ALREADY USING THE GAGA PIT, NEW PLAYERS HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE DONE WITH THE GAGA PIT.

- ALL PLAYERS START WITH ONE HAND TOUCHING A WALL OF THE PIT.

- THE GAME BEGINS WITH A REFEREE THROWING THE BALL INTO THE CENTER OF THE PIT.

- WHEN THE BALL ENTERS THE PIT, THE PLAYERS SCREAM ‘GA’ FOR THE FIRST TWO BOUNCES, AND ‘GO’ ON THE THIRD BOUNCE, AFTER WHICH THE BALL IS IN ACTION.

- ONCE THE BALL IS IN PLAY, ANY PLAYER CAN HIT THE BALL WITH AN OPEN OR CLOSED HAND.

- IF A BALL TOUCHES A PLAYER BELOW THE KNEE (EVEN IF THE PLAYER HITS HIMSELF OR HERSELF) HE OR SHE IS OUT AND LEAVES THE PIT. IF A PLAYER IS HIT ABOVE THE KNEES, THE PLAY CONTINUES.

- IF A BALL IS CAUGHT ON A FLY, THE PLAYER WHO HIT THE BALL IS OUT.
USING THE WALLS OF THE OCTAGON TO AID IN JUMPING IS LEGAL AS LONG AS THE PLAYER DOES NOT PERMANENTLY SIT ON THE LEDGE OF THE OCTAGON.
