DESCRIPTION:Dhop khel game is conducted to encourage students and to relief
  their stress and to improve their concentration. Dhopkhel\, also translit
 erated dhop khel and dhoop khel\, is a traditional ball played game layed 
 in the Indian state of Assam. The game is played between two teams of 11 o
 n a 125 m × 80 m field bounded by four flags. The players take turns thro
 wing the ball at the opponent to knock them out of the game\, while seekin
 g to catch the ball and evade other players. It is a test of speed\, stami
 na\, and acrobatic skills. Matches of the game were traditionally made to 
 observe the spring and New Year festival of Bihu. The game was once played
  to amuse Ahom royalty as a spectator sport. It is no longer widely played
  in Assam\, though efforts are being made to revive it.\nHow to play\nDhop
  that is a ball\, is thrown by the player in the air with intention to thr
 ow it in the opponent’s court and if in case the ball does not cross one
 ’s court and falls there only\, then the players have to throw the ball 
 again. While the opponent team has to catch the ball and again the player 
 of\nother team has to throw the ball if the opponent fails to catch it but
  if the player catches the ball then he/she has to throw it towards a play
 er who stands at the opposite end of the court and the player is called Ka
 toni. If the player\, who is Katoni\, fails to catch the ball then the tea
 m loses the chance of throw and the other team gets the opportunity to thr
 ow the ball. The game is not as simple as it sounds and is filled with com
 plications with its complicated structure- if the Katoni is hit below the 
 waist then it is considered a kota and thus the katoni loses his status of
  ghai which was a name initially used for all players and becomes a bondha
  or hoia. The Bondha has a tough task to perform which is that he/she has 
 to go to opponent’s team with an intention to avoid the opponent team’
 s players to catch the ball & catch the ball himself and reaches in his co
 urt without any physical contact between the opponent team’s player and 
 the ball\, this strategy is called aulia. Thus\, if he succeeds in doing s
 o then the player again becomes a ghai and such move is called hora. Also\
 , the player has to make sure that he/she does not go out of the field whi
 le making such an attempt. When 10 ghais of a team\, turns into hoia or bo
 ndha then the last ghai becomes a ghai katoni\, and if kota is done to him
  then then it is called as piriutha and it signifies victory for the side.
  The team which has more number of ghais\, is declared the winner and in c
 ase there are equal numbers of ghais then the game is drawn.\nAbout the ga
 me\nThere are two teams of eleven members. The field measures 125 m x 80 m
  and there is a central point. Two lines are drawn at a distance of 125 ft
  on each side of the point at the center. At the four points where the kai
  meets 125 m lines\, 4 flags are planted in the four corners known as chuk
 or nishan. In each half of the field\, there is one point each at a distan
 ce of 13’6” from the center and the circles which surround them are kn
 own as gher. The game is not restricted to any specific gender and thus is
  played by both men and women. A rubber ball is used in the game which is 
 called as Dhop thus the game is called Dhop Khel. Like all other games\, t
 his game also requires skills and the player needs to be\nphysically fit\,
  have good speed\, high stamina\, and acrobatic skills. The game is someti
 mes also seen similar to Kabbadi.\n\nTirupati\, Andhra Pradesh\, India
