Yeah, kill the guy with the ball. I've discerned a few more, too. 1) The guy running with the ball has to bounce it off the ground (dribble it) ever 5 meters or so.
2) If he gets tackled, he has to give it up (which is why you throw it)
3) throw backwards only, but kick in any direction
4) if you catch a kick inside the 25m(?) box, you get a free kick on goal
5) six points between the two middle uprights; one point if it goes between the middle and side upright on either side
6) if you get a 6-pt goal, they bounce it up at midfield. A 1-pt goal means the team that gave up the goal gets the ball at its own goal.
7) they also bounce it up if the ball goes out of bounds.
But the rules really don't matter, because it's such a damn entertaining game.

they actually officially call the rules, "the laws of the game." how cool is that?
