How Tiki-Taka works
Get the ball from the first player to the last player in short passes. Every pass goes to a club teammate: same club, same season. National teams don't count. Name a teammate of the player on the ball. He becomes the new man on the ball. Keep going until you reach someone who played with the final player. Par is the shortest chain we know. Most days it's two players in between. You can use up to 5. 3 lives. A pass to someone who never played with the man on the ball costs one. Hit a dead end? Take the ball back, it's free. Finish the chain to keep your streak. Par scores 100. Under par scores 120.
