Each player acts as their own team; i.e. three players equals three teams. Ball gnawing is encouraged. Football must be transported by mouth ONLY. Transportation of ball by mouth with other players attached is permitted, so long as others are also attached, by mouth, to ball. Should ball roll into a hole, anything goes; i.e., head bonkings.
