HOW TO PLAY
1

Balance a plate on the tip of a stick and give it a quick spin to get it rotating.

2

Keep the stick moving in small circles underneath the plate to maintain its spin.

3

Add a second plate on another stick once the first is spinning steadily, if attempting multiple plates.

4

Judges start a timer once all of a competitor's plates are spinning at once.

5

The contest ends for a competitor when a plate wobbles off and falls.

6

The competitor who keeps their plates spinning longest, or spins the most plates at once, wins.
