No warm-up laps necessary.

Before you jump in
Watching a sport and explaining its rules are not always the same thing. This accessible round moves between familiar games, testing the terms and basic structures that help a spectator follow what is happening. You do not need to remember last night’s result or a changing league table to take part.
Read each question for the sport it names before importing a rule from another game. The explanations connect the answer to the way that sport is played or scored. Whether you watch every week or only join in for a big event, this is a chance to turn a few recognizable words into knowledge you can actually use.
What you’ll explore

- Team sizes and game structure
