HOW TO PLAY
1

Give every contestant a hula hoop and enough open space to spin it freely.

2

On the starting signal, each contestant spins their hoop around their waist and begins rotating their hips to keep it up.

3

Keep the hoop spinning without touching it with your hands once it is moving.

4

A contestant is out the moment their hoop falls to the ground or stops spinning.

5

The timer keeps running for the remaining contestants until only one is left spinning.

6

For a trick-based variant, judges instead score contestants on hoop tricks performed while keeping it spinning.
