    <h1>Rules</h1>
    
    <h2>Definitions</h2>

    <p>We will use the following table to refer to the different rods of
    the foosball table:</p>

    <table>
        <tr><td>Row 1</td><td>Goalkeeper (1 foosman)</td></tr>
        <tr><td>Row 2</td><td>Defence (2 foosmen)</td></tr>
        <tr><td>Row 3</td><td>Opponent's attack (3 foosmen)</td></tr>
        <tr><td>Row 4</td><td>Midfield (5 foosmen)</td></tr>
        <tr><td>Row 5</td><td>Opponent's midfield (5 foosmen)</td></tr>
        <tr><td>Row 6</td><td>Attack (3 foosmen)</td></tr>
        <tr><td>Row 7</td><td>Opponent's defence (2 foosmen)</td></tr>
        <tr><td>Row 8</td><td>Opponent's goalkeeper (1 foosman)</td></tr>
    </table>

    <h2>Tournament structure</h2>

    <p>The tournament is divided in two phases:</p>
    <ul>
        <li><em>Groupe phase:</em> the teams are divided in groups of two or
        three teams. Each team meets all the other teams in its group. The
        worse team from each group of three teams leaves the tournament at the end
        of this phase.</li>
        <li><em>Knockout phase:</em> this phase is organized as a single
        elimination bracket; 4 quarter-finals, 2 semi-finals, 1 final (and
        1 additional final to decide the third place).</li>
    </ul>

    <h2>Organization of games</h2>

    <p>The first team to score 10 points wins the game.</p>

    <p>There is a half-time when the first team reaches five points: the two
    teams switch sides, and the players inside a team can decide to swap positions
    (the attacker becoming the defender and vice-versa). Swapping positions
    during the half-time is <strong>not</strong> mandatory.</p>

    <p>The ball is served by the attacker on the side of the serving hole.</p>

    <h2>In-game rules</h2>

    <p>When the ball stops and cannot be reached by any foosman, the action to
    be taken depends on the position where the ball stopped:</p>
    <ul>
        <li>Before the third rod: the ball is put in the closest
        corner;</li>
        <li>Between the third and sixth rods: the ball is served from the
        middle;</li>
        <li>After the sixth rod: the ball is put in the closest
        corner.</li>
    </ul>
    
    <p>Things you cannot do:</p>
    <ul>
        <li><em>Spinning:</em> swiftly spinning the rods all around without
        holding them.
        <li>Scoring from the midfield directly after serve: the ball must be
        touched by two foosmen from the scoring team on two different rods before
        a goal. If this requirement is not met, the goal does not count and the
        ball is simply served again from the middle.</li>
    </ul>

    <p>Apart from that, everything is allowed, in particular:</p>
    <ul>
        <li>Scoring from the midfield during the game;</li>
        <li>Scoring from the attack rod without stopping the ball first.</li>
      </ul>
