Instructions

Organisation
1. Games should be set up around the hall(s). If space is limited you may need to amend some of the distances which are given for each game.

2. Each team will start at a different game. Each game should be played for between 2-4 minutes and then time is given to change-over. It is suggested that the following times be allocated:
1st whistle Teams are at designated game and are instructed in 1 minute how to play it
2nd whistle Game begins and is played for designated time
3rd whistle Games stops and team moves to next game

3. A time-keeper should be appointed to signal the appropriate times as above.

4. A leader should be assigned to each Game. The role of the leader will be to:
• Explain briefly to each team how to play the game
• Supervise each team as they play the game
• Keep the score for each team
• Ensure that the 6 boys rotate in order during the game

5. At the end of each game the leader will fill in a score-sheet for each team. A copy of a suggested score sheet is enclosed. This should be photocopied for each team taking place and cut up into ‘games’. The score-sheets should be collected at the end of each time period and scores for each game put in ‘place order’.

6. The scoring system will be on a points basis, based on the number of teams, ie. if there are 5 teams competing in the competition the winners of each game will get 5 points, 2nd 4 points, etc. The overall winner will have the highest points score. In the event of a tie for the overall winner, the team with the greatest number of 1st places will be declared the winner.
