Reading Strategy (25 points 5 each) Beach Handball is a new beach sport based on handball rules, popular mainly in European countries. At the 6th World Games, there will be men's and women's beach handball events. Better than beach volleyball? Beach Handball gained popularity in many European countries as a result of the influence of casual new sports such as beach volleyball and beach soccer. Every country has its own Beach Handball rules. The rubber ball used in the game is easy to hold with one hand, and everybody can easily throw and feint throws. The court is made of sand, of course. It is interesting that a good handball player is not always a good Beach Handball player. The "in flight" throw is the most difficult way to shoot in Beach Handball. A player catches and throws the ball in one movement without touching the ground. A player can gain two points for scoring like this; three if the scorer is the goalkeeper. Spectators can enjoy the thrill of the in flight throws. It is a really fun game. A coin toss determines the choice of ends. The game begins with a referee throw. After every goal that is scored, the game continues with a goalkeeper throw. During play, the goalkeeper is allowed to play in the playing area along with the rest of the team. Running more than three steps with the ball and double dribbling are illegal. Different throws score different points. A goal scored with a jump throw or a step throw: one point Goal scored from an "in flight" throw goalkeeper scores from the playing area: 2 points. Goal scored from a six meter throw: 2 points. Goal scored by goalkeeper's "in flight" throw: 3 points. The winner of each half is awarded one point. (One point is awarded even if the score result is 10- 0.) If the score is even at the end of a half, the "golden goal" method is applied. (The winner is determined by the next goal.) If the same team wins both halves, the team wins with the score 2-0. If each team wins a half, the result is a tie. The "player versus the goalkeeper" method is applied to determine the winner. (A match is played with one player against the goalkeeper).
