Translation of the rules from this site http://rr.jeuxonline.info/articles/2098.html

Among the most popular distractions in Renaissants Kingdoms is the soule. This sport between two teams of eleven players who must win to lead the soule (the ball) into the opposing goal.

This sport was developed by players RR on the forum, there is no in game (no coding), after a few infancy, is now raised a great success and its rules are functional (though some nuances between various duchies / counties, such as the number of strokes it takes to bring his opponent to bring it ko or the right to make changes during the match).

Summary of rules and sequences of the game
A soule match takes place on a field composed of seven cases, the kick-off, each team is divided according to the wishes of his master in his camp, such as the following, which was the starting positions of the Cup final between the Royal Walls Châteauroux (in white) Foudres de Tonnerre (red):


The referee of the match means the team will play first (in our example: red). Then each sends its tactical masters (the actions of each player) to the referee and the first round can be played. This will be the first player 1 of the red team which made its action, then the number 1 white, then 2 reds, 2 whites, reds 3,…, and finally 11 reds followed by 11 white. In the second round, the whites will begin, the red again in the third round, etc. ...


Possible actions are: forward (symbolized in tactics by a +), back (-), hitting an opponent (the number of the enemy that we want to hit or A referee ...) or do nothing ( 0). The trips are from box to box. To strike an opponent, the latter must be on the same square as the player who knocks a player who receives four hits east ko and can no longer play (three strokes following regions). To advance the soule (the ball) requires that a player comes forward on the case where the raised, it develops then also a case.


The tactics that the captain forward to the arbitrator for each tour is a suite of eleven symbols, for example: + + - - 2 2 0 + + - - (meaning that players 1, 2, 8 and 9 forward, 3, 4, 10 and 11 fell, 5 and 6 hit the number 2 opponent while 7 does nothing)


To win a match, we must bring raised into the opposing goal. If after seven rounds no team has scored, that will hurt most opponents will be declared winner.

Competitions
After a few friendly matches, which have enabled the players and referees to familiarize themselves with the sport and settle the final details, the time came to move on to serious things. The Burgundy Duchy was the first to organize a cut duke, whose matches were followed by many spectators. Then the cup was organised royal won by Walls Châteauroux. Cut Royal attended thirty teams.


During matches, the captains have not all opted for the same tactics, preferring to play some ball, while others summarized their tactics by saying this: we are not there to play the baballe, but for kicking .


As in any sporting event of this magnitude self-respecting, we have seen some excesses it must be said that alcohol flowing stream during the meetings, and not only in the bleachers, but also in the locker room. But despite these clashes, it must be said that the soule is above all a great festival that brings together people from different horizons, different lands.

The referee came on the ground ... It was broken to referee matches but he had rarely seen such fervour around this wonderful sport that is raised. Ignoring a small joker who hua, it came in the middle ground in holding the soule under his arm.
