GENERAL:

	It is a game of skill
	There are losers and winners.

	You have to catch the drum on the stick (or ball in the cup) to score. Different throws have different scores.
	When you miss, the balero is for the next player.

	Keep going when your making them, go for your personal best.
	When your missing, keep going untill you make one.
	Beginners play 3 strikes you're out.
	Advanced play 0 strikes - No practice throws during game.
	Whoever is behind calls game and throws first for consecutive games.
	Count score out loud.
	For regulation play maximum pause time between throws is 20sec.when throwing for records and during game.

GAMES:

500 / 1000 - This is the original Mexican competition game, still used today, capirucho is the heart of this game. The rules are based on the practices of long ago that were used in competition by the players of balero in the villages.

	Competitions are 1 on 1, 2 players per match.
	Flip a coin. Winner of the coin toss chooses balero, exit throw and who throws first.
	Use point values (see throws page) to score throws.
	One player starts with any (entrance) throw, if they miss, then it is the opponents turn. Any throw may be used on this first throw but usually a recto (1 point) or columpiando (5 points) is used to minimize risk of failure.
	If the first throw is made the player proceeds with capiruchos until they miss, then it is the opponents turn.
	Points are cumulative. When a player reaches the established quantity of points, usually 500, they proceed with the exit throw. If they miss it is the opponents turn.
	When 1 player makes the exit throw the opponent has 1 last throw to tie by making it through the exit throw. If the "last try" attempt fails winner is the player who made the exit throw.
	If the "last try" attempt is successful the match is tied and ends by sudden death, a second coin toss determines who starts the sudden death, the balero remains the same.
	1 entrance throw and 1 capirucho (1 point per throw) are attempted at each players turn. The entrance throw must be made to attempt the capirucho.
	After one player starts the sudden death, with a score of 0,1 or 2, the next player whose score goes ahead wins. Tie keeps the game going. Less than a tie looses.

500 / 1000 (En Espańol) FIBA Reglas (Federacion Internacional de Balero Asoceichon) La FIBA ha basado su sistema de competencia en las practicas que hace mucho tiempo eran utilizadas por los jugadores de balero en los pueblos. Las reglas han sido recopiladas y acopladas por todos los integrantes de la FIBA.

	Son encuentros mano a mano entre dos personas.
	Se tiene como meta llegar a acumular la cantidad de puntos establecidos.
	Se lanza una moneda. El ganador del volado elige el balero, el movimiento de salida y quien empieza. Para evaluar los trucos se usan los valores establecidos por cada movimiento (ver página de trucos).
	Un jugador inicia con cualquier movimiento (de entrada), if falla, entonces es el turno del oponente.
	Cualquier truco puede ser usado para el movimiento de entrada, pero usualmente se usa el recto (1 punto) o columpiado (5 puntos) se acostumbran para disminuir el riesgo de fallar.
	Si el movimiento de entrada es concretado el jugador continua con capiruchos hasta que falle, entonces será el turno del oponente.
	Los puntos son acumulatiovs. Cuando un jugador llega a la cantidad establecida de puntos, normalmente 500, procede a realizar el movimiento de salida.
	Si lo falla, entonces será el turno del oponente.
	Cuando un jugador hace la salida el oponente tiene un último intento para empatar por medio de la salida (Únicamente si el jugador a alcanzado la cifra establecida, si no es así deberá de seguir haciendo trucos para alcancas dicha cantidad de puntos antes de hacer la salida.
	Si en el "último" intento falla, el ganador será aquel quién hizo la salida.
	Si el "último" intento es acertado el juego se empata y terminará con la muerte súbita, se realiza un nuevo volado (lanzamiento de la moneda) el cual determina quien empieza la muerte súbita, permanece el mismo balero.
	1 movimiento de entrada y un capirucho (un punto por movimiento) son intentados en cada turno de los jugadores.
	La entrada deberá ser realizada para intentar el capirucho.
	Después de que uno de los jugadores inicie la muerte súbita, con un marcador 0,1 o 2, el siguiente jugador, cuyo marcador vaya a la delantera, gana.
	En caso de empate el juego continua. Bajas del empate eres un hombre muerto.
