How to Play
Loboton is played on a standard court. The first team to win 10 points wins a round. A pro match consists of 24 total rounds — and the winning team must win the final round to clinch the match.
Choose your format below to learn the specific rules.
Team Setup
Normally played with three players on each team. All players start with 3 balls except for the initial feeder that has 4 balls.
The Feed
The player with 4 balls starts with a friendly feed and plays a point against a player on the other team. After the first point, aggressive feeds are allowed.
Rotation
When the point is over, the losing player comes off the court and their teammate immediately feeds the next ball and plays the next point against the winner.
Feed Rules
The feeder must feed the ball from behind the baseline and inside the doubles lines. The feed cannot be an overhead motion or a drop shot.
No Lets
There are no lets in this game. All balls are to be played regardless of net contact.
Winning
The team that runs out of balls first loses the game. Conserve your balls and play smart.
Team Setup

The Feed
The player with 3 balls starts with a friendly feed and plays a point. After the first point, aggressive feeds are allowed.
Rotation

If the feeding team accidentally feeds two balls at the same time, they lose both balls and the point.
