Marbles should not be exposed to daylight and cannot be touched for fear of damage and contamination. Only the team leader can touch the marbles and only the equipment provided can be used. The marbles may not touch the floor and they cannot be thrown. Team members cannot move their feet if holding a marble in their tube.
