Off the Break
The most common game played is called Center flag because there is only one flag and it is placed in the center of the field. Both teams try to reach the flag and bring it to their opponents starting position without being eliminated. Again, if eliminated while holding the flag, drop it where you were shot and exit the field.

The field itself is approximately 150 feet wide and 300 feet long. The bunkers should be mirror images of each other on both sides so there is no unfair advantage to either team. Teams start on opposite sides and when the whistle is blown, they each try to reach the flag. The game is finished when the time is over or total elimination of a team is reached. It is a draw if neither team placed the flag and the time expired. Scoring can be done using the NPPL rules
X-Ball
speed ball A newer format first played at the International Amateur Open in 2002, X-Ball pits two teams against each other in multiple rounds of Center Flag played one after another until game time runs out. A team scores one point for each game of centerflag they win, and the team with the most points at the end of the match wins. Professional X-Ball matches are 50 minutes long, split into two halves, while other leagues use various shorter game times. Although only 5 players play in any given game, depending on league rules teams may roster up to 19 players and substitute them after each point. Unlike most tournament formats that forbid players to communicate with people on the sidelines, X-Ball may have a coach who can communicate, along with the spectators, to players on the field. Players who receive penalties are not permanently removed from the game, but placed in a hockey-like penalty box for several minutes. X-Ball has taken root at the national level, although variations are found in regional and local competition. The X-Ball Light variant has one period, typically 15 minutes long. The first team to reach a set point total (commonly 5 or 7 points), or the team with the highest point total after game time has elapsed, wins the match.

There are many other forms of speedball, however these 2 seem to be the more popular.
