| Description | Rundbold is given as the Danish name for the Swedish game brannboll. YouTube clips can be found for several depictions of the game. A (non-Danish-speaking Protoball rep observes the folowing: The clips show batters propelling a ball into the field with a (two-handed) fungo style, a one-handed style (think of a sidearmed tennis serve), and with a second player soft tossing a serve from a few feet away. Backward hitting is not observed. Fly outs appear to end a batter's time at bat. sometimes with a change of sides. After hitting the ball, runners try to complete a circuit of four bases (pegs, cones, etc) before the ball is returned to a defender stationed near the hitting area. In some cases, a hit is followed by several runners setting off from the hitting zone at the same time. If the ball is grounded by the defender before a runner reaches the next base, that runner must return to the previous base. Scoring rules are not evident. Players shown are often children, but young adults are also shown, sometimes with beer bottles in hand.
