Rule 2: Games

The object of the game is to use buckets to fill up the other team's canoes with water and sink them.

·         Games will consist of three 15 minute rounds.

·         Teams are awarded points according to the order in which their canoe sank.

·         If more than one team is still floating when the round ends, they will each get the same amount of points based upon how many have been sunk already

·         Rounds start with ten teams in the pool

·         When 5 teams remain, the boundaries will be reduced to half of the pool.

·         Each player will be armed with a bucket or a shield, and NOTHING more.

o   Each player will supply his or her own bucket or shield

o   All objects used as buckets must have rounded edges (no cut-up laundry detergent containers).

·         Players may use the walls of the pool to propel their canoe through the pool but must keep the canoe from touching the wall deliberately or for a prolonged period of time.

·         NO ONE is allowed to bail water out of their own canoe or anyone else's canoe.

·         Once a canoe has been sunk, the players must get their canoe out of the pool and then exit the pool themselves. Do not interfere with the play of others during this time

·         Teams may not ram into other canoes or hold onto the edges of the pool

·         If anyone is not following the rules their team is disqualified for the round

Rule 3: Point System

·         First sunk = 1 point

·         Fourth sunk = 4 points

·         Fifth sunk = 5 points

·         Sixth sunk = 6 points

·         Seventh sunk = 7 points

·         Eighth sunk = 8 points
