The 1-8-1 Rule
EFN is built around this foundational and easy to remember core rule:
1 bounce allowed on the rival’s court
8 seconds to retain/control and return the ball
1 final action to complete the play/ strike a point.
This creates a fast-paced, tactical, and explosive attack and defense game — ideal for competition, fitness, and skill development.
