Tug of War

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.

RULES

  1. 1

    Teams line up on opposite ends of the rope with an equal number of pullers

  2. 2

    The rope's center marker starts above the halfway line

  3. 3

    On the whistle, both teams pull — the team that drags the center marker past their side's line wins

  4. 4

    Players may not wrap the rope around any body part

  5. 5

    Sitting down or lying down to anchor is not permitted

  6. 6

    If the rope is dropped by an entire team, the other team wins automatically

SETUP

  • Mark the center line and each team's target line (approximately 2–3m from the center)
  • Tie a visible marker at the rope's midpoint
  • Ensure the ground is even and safe for footing on both sides

Three pools of 3 teams, each match is 3 rounds; after pool play, matches are 1-round sudden death. Round win = 1 point. Final placement: 1st = 5, 2nd = 3, 3rd = 2, 4th = 1.
