Topic: legal goal

[thefoosman]

If I hit the ball with my 2-man (or any other rod), and it bounces off the opposing goalie WALL into my goal, (with or without touching any other players), does it count as a goal for the opposing team/player?

yep that is a goal for the other guy.

Unless you violate a written rule, anything that goes in the goal is legal.  So, e.g., if you spin the rod or if you slam another rod into the table as a distraction before the shot then it's illegal.

But the basic rule is that if it goes into the goal, it's a point.  Some things that are legal:
Shot that goes off one or more men (your own or the opponents') into the goal
Shot that goes off a wall into the goal
Accidentally roll the ball back into your own goal
Shot from the five-rod
Shot from the goalie man (just one point like everything else)
etc.

Exactly correct again, a goal is a goal.

There is a little trick here you may want to hear.

If you serve the ball, your team can NOT score until your team touches the ball.  So if you spin the ball when you serve it and it goes into the other teams goal and you did not touch it that would not count.  Now if it goes into your own goal, that would count.

Just a little trick there.
