Ulu maika
Ulu maika is a traditional sporting game used by the indigenous people of Hawaii and is experiencing a renaissance today. The basic form of the game is probably over 1000 years old. According to the excavations made by the French archaeologist Michel Charleux on the island of Eiao , the game could once have been known on the Marquesas Islands .
matchfield
The game can be played on any level, unobstructed surface, usually on a short-cropped lawn today . A play distance of 15 feet (4.57 m) is measured and a starting line is established. The goal is to put two small posts 6 inches (15.24 cm) apart at the end of the route. A round rolling pebble can be used as a game stone, for which the natives of Hawaii carefully made smooth, biconvex discs with a diameter of 5 to 8 cm, similar to an ice hockey puck .
Rules of the game
The token is thrown from the starting line so that it rolls between the two target posts as much as possible. The winner is the team that succeeds in this most often.
