#Kolhii balls revert the environment that it comes within a three metre radius of to its state at the match's beginning. A Kolhii ball is only manipulable by extranatural means (though the ball itself, as per the previous rule, may not be altered) by a player who isn't a defender and whose physical form is at most three metres from a Kolhii ball; such a player may use extranatural abilities for no other purpose.†

* Submit a Kolhii ball! Kolhii balls must be round, be under thirty centimetres in diameter but greater than ten centimetres in diameter, weigh little enough to be easily flung and be tough enough to remain intact for the duration of a match; otherwise, again, be as imaginative as possible!

#Teams are each composed of either two deities, two constructs, avatars or similar entities under the control of a deity or one of each, all of whom are known elsewhere in these rules as 'players'. Players may switch between any of their default Pantheonic forms at any time. Players must be at most three metres tall and wide; any player taller or wider than that will be scaled down to be at most three metres tall and wide.

(ExistentialTempest reserves the right to alter or make exceptions to the above rules at any time for any reason. Anybody who perceives potential LoopholeAbuse in the above rules should raise their concerns with ExistentialTempest.)

Traditionally, victors in sports on Mata Nui were awarded Copper Masks of Victory, powerless ceremonial Kanohi of symbolic value that were forged in a shining, copper colour from metallic Protodermis. As such, the team that wins the Pantheonic Kolhii Tournament will also be awarded two Copper Masks of Victory, forged by Turaga Vakama in [[https://orig00.deviantart.net/28be/f/2017/227/7/d/inorganic_kanohi_calix_by_0nuku-dbk6uv9.gif the shape of the Great Kanohi Calix]], the Mask of Fate, which in its powered form grants a user the peak physical ability of their species.

''Prizes''

To appreciate the workings of Pantheonic Kolhii, feel free to watch [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyZS3BCnw8w&feature=youtu.be&t=655 this video of a three-way match of traditional Mata Nui Kolhii]]. Please note that Mata Nui Kolhii is not identical to Pantheonic Kolhii, which has been adapted for the Pantheon (and certainly should not contain unnecessary and illogical pauses for clichéd dialogue); the video should be used to inform the viewer on common aspects between the two variants of the sport.

#Any pitch invasion by Rahi, or of any other kind, postpones the game until the problem is dealt with.

#All players may carry one [[https://biosector01.com/w/images/bs01/3/39/Kohlii_Staff_MoL.PNG Kolhii staff]] proportional to their size and nothing else except in the case of a defender, who may carry nothing but one staff and one shield.
