General rules of Cambok:

1) You can't throw the ball with your hands.

2) Get the ball in the goal anyway you can.

3) Don't hit unconcious players.

4) Have fun.

uh... that's it.

Proper dress for cambok seems to be short houpalandes, a hat, and boots.
A wet rainy day (and a slick field) are a plus.

A good cambok stick looks a lot like a modern field hockey stick.  Mine
was made from an oak plow handle.
