Mat Rounders is smiliar to rounders, but it can only be played inside. Four mats are set up around the [[Sports Hall]] and these act as bases. You can have as many people as you want on a base, but it's best to not have everyone run at once, as if the fielding team catch the ball, then everyone who ran is out. You are also out if the bowler has hold of the ball when you are inbetween bases. | Mat Rounders is smiliar to rounders, but it can only be played inside.
