Carrom Board >> Basic principles of board game- carrom

Carrom is among the one of the most famous among the board games. It comprises of accessories like carrom pieces, strikers, carrom table, and carrom powder and many other.

There are some carrom rules to be followed while playing carrom games. The most important and basic thing while playing carrom is to be familiar with the sitting position in carrom.

Sitting pose is exceptionally significant in carrom game . If you sit down correctly on your chair or stool only then you will be able to play just the right game. Generally a few players will place their chairs and stool away from the carrom board it will make difficult for the player to play. One more disadvantage in this pose is that the performer's legs may cross the imaginary line which is a foul. I have seen even some national champion crossing their legs beyond imaginary lines and if foul is declared then blaming the umpires. If you keep too much distance between your seat and carrom board then you have to stretch your hand for playing, which can develop tension in the playing hand. Correct position to sit is to take comfortable distance between your seat and the carrom board and occupy more than half portion of your seat.

Place both of your legs in front of the chair. See to it that while you play the position of your body must not be in a direct contact with the pockets of the carrom board but it must be in a straight line direction with the pathway of the striker where it is moving towards.

• In this kind of movement you are able to move only your upper body carrying it in the planned way.

• Locking your legs to the chair will permit you to shift your upper body with no trouble. This put off your legs crossing the made-up lines.

• In this kind of movement you will be capable of moves with your full body in the planned direction. For this kind of movement it turns out to be essential to move about on the seat.

• Previous to moving on your seat take hold of your chair determinedly and get a relaxed pose by moving on the seat, then let go your hands on or after the chair and take part in. Taking hold up of the chair is a foul. This is to be made for the reason that there is a option of moving your chair on the floor, which is again a foul.
