\nThe game is played on a field 200 meters long and 70 meters wide. But the size of the field can vary according to the number of participants. Two kazans \u2013 big goals with 4.4 meters in diameter and 1.2 meters high are placed on opposite sides of a field. A goal is scored each time a ulak (goat carcass) is placed in an opponent’s kazan.<\/p>\n
\nNow the game is played not only by grooms and brides but also by young people and can be watched at festivals or other celebrations.<\/p>\n
