Description

The basic rule is simple: if any part of your body other than your feet touches the ground or you step outside the straw ring the match is over and your opponent is declared the winner


Resources

Chalk if inside, large rope if outside

Instructions

Create a tournament schedule of who's facing who then give patrols a chance to come up with a warriors chant (3m).

A circle is drawn with chalk (if inside) or made with a rope (if outside). Two participants would then enter the circle and they would do a “Warriors chant” then bow to their opponent. They would then both step closer to each other and put hands on shoulder blades of the opponent attempting to push them out. If any part of your body other than your feet touches the ground or you step outside the straw ring the match is over and your opponent is declared the winner.

N.B No Hair Pulling, and not grabbing, Chest and pelvis area are not to be touched and will result in an immediate loss if this is deemed intentional then the LIC will deal with it. If the player has long hair (Longer then shoulders) then they are to tie up hair to be able to play.

If a scout does not want to take part they ofcourse do not have to but will be encouraged to.
