Below
are the basic rules of Bonving, all for you folks!
THE PLAYING FIELD:
Two squares 10 meters width times 6 meters length, separated by
18 meters. Grass is the ideal ground for the sport, but sand has
also been used. 
PARTICIPANTS:
Two teams including two players each. All four players are equipped
by standard sized plastic garbage cans (the classic office model).
GAME'S PURPOSE:
To throw a classic men's shoe size 9 or 10 into the opponent team's
field. Your rival team will then try to catch your throw in their
garbage cans. If you as server, succeed to land the shoe on their
square, you will award 1 point. If the opponent team catches your
shoe, they will get the point.
PLAY OF THE GAME:
Player A1 starts serving. If any player in the B team catches the
throw, they will get a point. To get a catcher´s point the
shoe has to stay in your can, bounces don´t count as catches.The
catcher or his/her partner are allowed to re-catch a bounce from
a can. This is called a double catch. The shoe must not touch any
bodyparts or the playfield before it is caught in the can, if so,
the serving team gets the point. The catcher has to keep both feet
within the field when catching a throw, if not; the serving team
will get the point.
If
your shoe-serve lands outside the opponent field, they get the point.
If your shoe-serve lands inside the opponent field, you get the
point.
If you step outside your own field when serving, they get the point.
The players in each team serve every other throw. A1, B1, A2, B2
and then back to A1...
Every set runs to 17 points, best of 3 sets in all games. You got
to win by two points to win the set/match.
A suggestion at last is not to grip the garbage
can by holding your thumbs at the top. A thrown men's shoe can cause
great damage when hit fragile bodyparts. Therefor, hold your can
in your arms as if you were about to hug it.
