they miss on the first throw they must run to first base. The fielders may get a Beaver out by catching the ball when hit or touching a base with the ball before the batsman or member of the batting team reaches it. Once any base has been
touched the batting team cannot move any further round the diamond. Let each batsman have 3 turns or unless all the members are out, then swop the teams around. The team with the most players in at the end is the winner.
