Two teams grab a single rope and pull with all their might. The team that drags the center marker past their line proves their strength.
Teams line up on opposite ends of the rope with an equal number of pullers
The rope's center marker starts above the halfway line
On the whistle, both teams pull — the team that drags the center marker past their side's line wins
Players may not wrap the rope around any body part
Sitting down or lying down to anchor is not permitted
If the rope is dropped by an entire team, the other team wins automatically
