To have a balanced team and a balanced strategy it is needed to respect the 6 keys of the game:

(1) Where the soule can or can't go?
Normally this element changes according to the position of your players and your opponent's.

(2) How to push it where and when we want to.
Create a strategy to push the soule in an area where the opponent can't save it

(3) Organise a structure.
Do the opponent is well structured, where can we attack to be sure to sweep his lines
If the opponent is defensive: massive attack
If the opponent is attacking: Counter attack
If the opponent wants to destroy your knees: massive attack
If the opponent use a V: use a diagonal strategy

(4) The lines have to be homogenous
To kick it's needed to be organised and not consider a weak point in your strategy...
A 5 in the line zero(1 2 3 4 5) and 4 in the line 1 (6 7 10 11)and 2 (8 and 9) in the line 2 can be a good strategy

(5) Can we break the legs of an important player?
Here nothing to say just acting.

(6) What's the worst thing the opponent can do and what the worst thing you can do to him.

Can I say something????

(5) Can they break an important player of your team.

(4) : It's optional, if you're self confident

1. Exactly how do we "push" the soule?
B. If both teams are attempting to push, how do we know which way the soule will go?
III. How do we stop the soule once it's pushed?

You push the soule when you're right behind it and moves forward...
IE: I'm number 1 and my team begins. The soule is in zero and I'm in one. By moving forward the soule goes in 1!!!

The order is the following...we're checking for the team which begins.
If my team begins and I'm blue
This will follow this order;;

1 blue 1 red 2 blue 2 red 3 blue 3 red....etc...

To stop the soule we stop the players which push it.

OK, I've been following the soule games in Cumberland. It appears that the coach of each team is the only real player, the players on the field are all NPC pawns. Is that correct?

But we will have (hopefully) a full team of real people. Will each of us make a decision about our own moves? Or will the coach make all the decisions? If we make our own decisions, will there be deadlines about when to get our moves in? What if moves aren't sent in? What if someone gets tired of playing and simply drops out?

That's for the little soule...little soule is one player one captain and the rest of the team is not composed of players

The real soule opposes two captains but they playing with real players (who have to real play)

If you succeed to have a team in your town, I'll be glad to organize a match with Keswick
