[5] Team skills (linked skills)
●The game that unfolds with each stroker's turn requires team skills (cooperative skills) on the part of the stroking team, so that the single stroke of the stroker's ball, or the last stroke in the case of a continuous play, ends up being advantageous to that stroker's team.
●The fundamentals of linked skills is that the stroker must always stroke his/her ball by first checking the formation of his/her team's balls with the higher numbers in relation to the number of his/her ball. (For example, the balls with the higher numbers in relation to Red 1 will be Red 3 and Red 5).
●Linked skills are defined as less important skills necessary in the game skills (team strategies) of "Double Touch ball formation" and "Tsuka Touch (Touch Pass) ball formation".
(1) Hitting the ball into a position that is relevant to his/her team's next stroker.
If the ball formation is as shown in Diagram, the stroker of Red 1 hits his/her ball so that it goes between Red 3 and Red 5. Then, the next stroker of Red 3, by touching Red 1, sparking and gaining the right for continuous play, can touch Red 5.
(2) Sparking to send the ball to the position of the stroker's team
(the offense and defense positions)
If the balls are in a formation as shown in Diagram, Red 1 touches Red 5, and sparking then sends Red 5 near Red 3, and Red 1, as a result of continuous play, sends the stroker's ball near Red 3. However, the stroker should check that White 2's position isn't going to affect Red 3.
(3) Sparking to send the ball to the other team's position
(the offense and defense positions)
If the ball formation is as shown in Diagram, Red 1 touches Red 3, and Red 3 is sent near the other team's White 4 by sparking, and Red 1, as a result of continuous play, sends his/her ball near Red 3. However, the stroker should check that White 2's position isn't going to affect Red 3.
