A game consists of 3 rounds. Each round consists of all players hurling 2 bags. Teams take turns throwing.

Hurlers can knock opponents’ bags off of an obstacle during the game (thereby cancelling any points scored by that bag)

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, each team can only score points once per obstacle during each round

You can not play as the same team with the same partners in back to back tournaments. Only one or the other – you can keep your team name and have a new partner OR keep your partner and change your team name.

You can not team up with someone you live with, someone you smooch regularly, or anyone with whom you’d describe yourselves as a “power couple”

Last year’s champions are exempt from all team rules – only they can choose to play as the same team with the same teammate if they like.

The team that finishes in last place in any given tournament is retired forevermore.

But not actually forevermore, see next section…

A retired team can be resurrected. However, those attempting to bring it back must…

• Very formally present the entire league of hurlers with a challenge before the tournament starts
• The resurrecting team must “run the gauntlet” – which means play a full game against a MEGATEAM made up of ALL other hurlers taking one turn at a time.
• Both teammates on the resurrecting team must whisper “Come on babbby, bring us back 2 lyfe” (or an equivalently cool thing) to their beanbag at least once during the challenge game
• If successful in defeating the MEGATEAM in a pre-tournament challenge match, the resurrecting team returns – but must add an adjective of their choice to their team name forevermore

A team can only be resurrected twice. Upon the third last place finish in a tournament, that team will really, actually, definitely, for suresies be retired forevermore. Never to play again – except for in the cold sweat nightmares of all those who have ever been part of that team………..

A H.O.T.Y (Hurler of the Year) will be elected by majority vote for every tournament.

Anyone can also nominate anyone else for any accolade they dream up during a tournament.
