	===Rules of ~~Namiyū~~===		===Rules of Namikyū===
	~~Namiyū~~ is played on an oval "field" measuring 140 meters long and 100 meters across. The field is marked with a set of twelve buoys held in place by multiple tethers to keep them from drifting. A game lasts two halfs, each of which is twenty minutes long. Points are scored by throwing the ball through the opponent's goal post that is located on their end of the field. Regulation posts are circular hoops 1.2 meters in diameter and 2.6 meters off the surface of the water. Each post has a base that is 6 meters in diameter.

Regulation posts are circular hoops 1.2 meters in diameter and 2.6 meters off the surface of the water. Each post has a base that is 6 meters in diameter.

	One of the most difficult portions of ~~Namiyū~~ is controlling your kite with one hand. This is necissary when a player has the ball, and is the major portion that keeps the sport competitive. Having access to both hands allows players to maneuver quicker and is core to the strategy of the game.		One of the most difficult portions of Namikyū is controlling your kite with one hand.
