You can achieve scoring in rounders by 3 different methods:. When a batter runs the track they must keep contact with the post using a hand or bat. You can get stumped out by a fielder at the next post if you fail to keep contact. There is no rule that you must move to the next post each time a ball gets bowled. But, a batter may not remain at the same post as another batsman. If you are between posts, you can keep on moving until you reach the following post.
But, you cannot keep on moving to the next post when the bowler has the ball in his square. If a post has been previously stumped, you can run on to it but there will be no score if the next post ahead has been stumped. You can use two hands when batting but you must hold on to the bat while running round the track. Each batter should have one good ball bowled to them. Batters must wait behind the batting square and well away from the 4th post while waiting for their turn to strike.
Players who are ' out ' must also wait in the backward area away from the 1st post. So how do you win the game now that you know how to play rounders?

Batting The batter gets one chance to hit the ball ignoring no-balls and must run even if the ball is not struck. If the ball is hit behind the batting square or not hit at all, the batter may can only run to first base.
Otherwise, the batter runs around as many of the bases as possible and stops at a post only when the batter thinks there is a danger of the next post being 'stumped'. The batter is out if: the batter hits the ball and it is caught without first hitting the ground the post being run to is 'stumped' - a fielder touches it with the ball the batter runs inside a post the batter loses contact with a post when the bowler has the ball inside the bowler's square the batter overtakes a fellow batter when running around the posts.

When the bowler has the ball in the bowling square a batter cannot move on, but if they are between posts they can carry on to the next.
