The rules of the composite sport are designed to allow for neither side to gain an advantage, eliminating or imposing certain restrictions. The goals are those used in Hurling with 3 points for a goal and 1 for a shot over the bar. A stationary ball taken straight from the ground counts gives the scoring team 2 points.

Players may not catch the ball unless they are the keeper (or a defender on the line for a penalty) and this must be released within three steps. Players may not kick the ball but can drag the ball with their foot.

Although there is a statutory size for the ball to used in the games, there is often a custom of using a sliotar in one half and a shinty ball in the other.

Each half lasts for 35 minutes.

Gives them a good advantage in that regard
