When a team plays with only 3 players, that team must miss one turn per rotation in the team game. After
the third player's turn, the other team will have two sequential turns before play goes again to the other team.

The team playing short may only play one person in one of the doubles games in each half. That person may
only play once per rotation. The short team will have one throw for every two throws of the complete team.

The team playing short will also sacrifice one singles game per half. The captain of the team with only 3
players will determing which game to forefit and will not be required to inform the opposing captain of the
specific game to be forefitted until the line-ups are exchanged.

In the event that a fourth player arrives, he/she may enter the match in the current/subsequent game(s) he/she
has been listed for. Since the games are to be played in the order listed on the score sheet, games already
forefitted or played short can not be played.
