Up to eleven
A side can field up to eleven players.
Stick is one of Varidia’s major organised sports. Clubs belong to places, communities and traditions rather than species, and mixed-species teams are entirely ordinary.
Physical differences matter because the game does not pretend they do not. Strength, speed, size, reach and sheer bad judgement all create tactical possibilities.
A side can field up to eleven players.
The rules do not manufacture balance by species. Teams choose who they field.
Get the scoring object — or a player carrying it — through the defended portal.
Play continues after a score, which can create immediate opportunities and spectacular mistakes.
The portal is defended by a goalkeeper standing in front of it.
If launching a smaller teammate is useful, the laws of Stick are not going to protect their dignity.
This section is ready for the origin of the game, major rule changes, famous matches, league development and the sort of historical argument supporters will happily continue for several centuries.
