Tug of War

Tug of war,  is a sport that directly pits two teams against each other in a test of strength. In 2012 the event was included into the house port carnival held in term 4. Each year level from grade 3-6 has it own team of 10, comprised of 5 boy and 5 girls.

Rules
Two teams of ten, align themselves at the end of a  rope approximately. The rope is marked with a "centre line" and two markings four metres either side of the centre line. The teams start with the rope's centre line directly above a line marked on the ground, and once the contest (the "pull") has commenced, attempt to pull the other team such that the marking on the rope closest to their opponent crosses the centre line.
