Topspin in ball games is defined as spin about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the direction of travel that moves the top surface of the ball in the direction of travel.

Sometimes balls will fly out of the playing surface. These balls are out for that round and can not be replaced while the top is still spinning. A player scoring with all 6 balls gets to spin the top again. The winner is the player who first reaches a point total that is agreed upon before the game. Normally this total is 1000 points. [3]
