Rules of Play
- Four Tug Ropes (Black, Red, Green and Blue) will be used to coordinate the tournament.
- Two yellow markers will be attached to each rope, each 5 ft from the center color coded pennant. These are the markers that will be used to determine winning teams.
- Do NOT tie rope around arm or body under any circumstance.
- There is no weight limit for team members.
- NO SITTING DOWN ON THE GROUND allowed.
- Officials will give the Start Signal by blowing a whistle after soliciting a verbal confirmation of “Ready” from both team coaches.
- Win by pulling opposing Team’s Pennant over mark or maintain the pennant advantage at the 60 second time limit.
- If the teams are tied at 60 seconds, the color-coded flag will remain in the middle (straight up) and teams will be told to “keep pulling” into overtime.
- The first team to gain a clear advantage will be the winner. The “Flag Official” will bring down the flag on the side of the team that won or has the advantage.
- If you are the winner of your tug, you proceed to the holding area to await your next tug. Tugs will be scheduled approximately 10 to 15 minutes apart.
