Six and Out

Our rule was over any fence on the full was six and out and whoever hit it over the fence had to climb over and get it!!

The only time I ever played "6 and OUT" was in 1975. The first ball disappeared over a hedge and we never found it - and it was the only ball we had, so the match was declared a draw.
A small side story to that is that we decided to play football instead and inside 5 minutes had broken a greenhouse window and had the ball confiscated. I think we then ended up being grounded and watching an episode of Crossroads.

What's your rules for Six and Out. Ours are that if it goes over the fence or on top of any, ANY roof(cars included) then you get six and out
You cannot throw stuff at other people. It will result in two runs. These "things" incldue little gumnuts off tree, grass, shoes (yes, shoes) and other things.

We only played six and out if it was a real hassle to retrieve the ball. Over fences or in rivers usually.
