Put the ball as far as possible using an open-palm motion. Strength and form combined will send it the distance.
The shot must be put with one hand only — no two-handed throws
The throw must be made with an open palm — no gripping or throwing overhand
The participant must release the shot from behind the throw line
Distance of the throw is measured from the start line to where the shot first lands and rolls to a stop
No running start permitted — both feet must remain stationary before the throw
