Rules & Guidelines
  1. Rope and marks

    There is a red mark made in the middle of the rope. This red mark on the rope needs to be at a perpendicular angle to the exact center point on the ground, before the commencement of the game. A white mark is made exactly 4m from the red mark on either sides of the rope.

  2. Team Composition

    Each team can accommodate a maximum of 8 members with a minimum of 2 females per team

  3. How to Play

    As mentioned earlier, the center of the rope should align with the center marked on the ground. As soon as the referee blows the whistle, each team can start pulling the rope into their territory. The objective of the game is for each team to pull the rope along with the members of opposition team to their side. As soon as the red mark of the rope crosses over the white line, the team to pull the rope to their area wins the game.

  4. Competition

    The judge gives three commands to the players: the first “Pick up the rope”, then “Take the string”, and finally “Pull”. Once the pull command is said out, both teams can start pulling the rope. If a member of the team falls down that member is given a caution. Each team is allowed two cautions before getting disqualified.

  5. Fouls

    Lowering your elbow below the knee level while pulling the rope is considered to be a foul and is called ‘locking’. Touching the ground for over 5 seconds is also considered as a foul.

** A player has to put on proper sportswear. Ropes will be provided by FHS. In case of any dispute, the judgment of the on-site referees shall prevail. **
