ESCALA I CORDA


ESCALA I CORDA


Leaving the subject of Raspall, there are also other types of this game. The most important is ``Escala i corda´´.  This consists in passing the ball over the the cord, if it passes under the opponent wins the point.
The ball can only bounce on the ground or go in to the air, if it bounces twice the opposing team wins a point. If the ball goes into the galleries they also lose points. 
There are the same amount of players as in ``Raspall´´, but with one exception, there is a ``feridor´´ on each team who serves the ball to the opposite team.
 
People bet on this game more than on ``Raspall´´.

The people who play this sport are more technical than ``Raspall´´ players because they you have to throw the ball harder and it must also go over the cord. ``Escala I corda´´. It is better to serve quickly so that you do not get too tired.

Basically, ``Escala i Corda´´ is like tennis without rackets but it is not played on a court.
