i think you gotta count up how many times the twig runners run back and forth.

and when the pine cone burns out when on the ground, the umpire calls "HOT BOX!". if the gets to the base before he gets tagged, you divide them by 9.

Seems legit!

This should be an Olympic sport.

The fact that this movie is not at least rated 8.3-8.5 on imdb really hurts, better than any Pixar movie Iv'e seen.. yes even Toy Story, Wale, and Finding Nemo. I love Pixar movies but this movie just has a mature feeling to it with wisdom even though it is about animals and funny lol

The batter at Whackbat tries to hit a cedar stick off a “cross rock” with a flaming pinecone that’s pitched at him by the center tagger. The five twig-runners dash back and forth until the pinecone burns out and the umpire calls “Hotbox!” At the end, you count up how many “scoredowns” that adds up to and divide it by nine. “Got it!” says Kristofferson. Wait, what?

I c! The twig runners do the score downs and the grabber and taggers try to tag the player with a certain move or boundary
