HOW TO PLAY
1

Lay the rope out straight on open ground and mark its exact center point, then mark a ground line beneath that center.

2

Split into two evenly matched teams, each gripping the rope on their own side, with the lead puller usually wrapping the rope for extra grip.

3

On the starting signal, both teams lean back and pull steadily, trying to drag the rope's center marker past their own ground line.

4

Teams may also agree that dragging the whole opposing team past a boundary line counts as a win instead of watching the center marker.

5

Whichever team achieves the pull first wins that round.

6

Play a best-of-three or best-of-five series, switching which side of the line each team stands on between rounds for fairness.
