Its a competitive sport that doesn't have too much emphasis on the competition, so that nobody feels left out.
The idea is to go about it in a slow, comfortable, summery sort of way. The whole village would come out and watch an participate. Wives would make sandwiches and lemonade.
The game goes on for days so that the one week of summer isn't wasted, the whole village goes outdoors to celebrate the warmth and laziness and there's a small amount of running about but that's not the point, the point is to come together and enjoy the sun.
