Pearl ball is a traditional Chinese game which is similar to basketball. Two teams of six players compete to shoot the ball into a net in the opposing team's half of the field; players are required to play in certain parts of the field according to their role, with three players on each team attacking, two holding paddles and attempting to deflect the ball away from the net, and one moving around in the scoring area while holding the net itself, attempting to help their teammates score.[1][2]
