How to Play

Each player has a partner (Buddy). The game proceeds just as in 'Spud' except that the player whose number is called has the option of throwing to hit a player or throwing to his buddy who may be in a more favourable position to hit someone. The ball may not be passed more than once. If the partner fails to catch the ball, or fails to hit a player, one 'Spud' is counted against the pair. When a pair has three 'Spuds' counted against their names they are awarded a penalty.
