SUGGESTED TUG OF WAR RULES

The following is just a suggestion. You may use your own variation to the rules as you see fit.

• Teams of 5 may enter. The team composition may not be changed during competition.
• Individuals may wear long sleeved shirts, tape hands and wear gloves
  ( Holes may not be dug into the ground )

DISQUALIFICATION WILL RESULT FROM THE FOLLOWING:

• Sitting on the ground or on any other teammate. Should a person fall or lose balance, he or she mush recover at once. A caution against one person is a caution against the entire team.
• Letting go of the rope before a pull has been completed.
• At start of the pull, each team lines up behind a line in it’s area. Each pull in conducted by the referee as follows:
  • “Take up the rope” – Each team picks up the rope
  • “Take up slack” – Both teams takes up slack evenly, without pulling.
  • “GO” – When the rope is completely steady, the referee will say GO and the tugging/pulling may begin.
• Only the last person may wrap the rope around the body.
• A team is considered defeated when the marker crosses the line farthest from that team.

The referee will signal the end of the pull.
