HOW TO PLAY
1

Each team defends its own upright pole while trying to topple the opposing team's pole.

2

Defenders form a ring around their pole, boosting teammates up to hold it steady.

3

Attackers rush the opposing pole, climbing over defenders to pull or push it down to an angle below the agreed line.

4

A team wins the moment it tips the opposing pole past that line while its own pole still stands.

5

Play several rounds and switch attacking and defending assignments between them for a fair match.
