GUIDELINES ON HOW TO PLAY THE GAME

TITLE OF THE GAME: PATINTERO

1.The game starts with the 2 teams doing either rock-paper-scissors (locally called jack-
en-poy) or by a coin toss. Whichever team wins is the first passers.
2.The passers position themselves at the starting point (base). This point is just behind
the first crosswise line of the rectangle. While the guards stand on the lines. A guard or
two is assigned on each of the crosswise lines.
3.Guards are allowed move along their respective lines, except for the team leader. The
team leader positions himself or herself on the first line. He or she moves both along the
crosswise and lengthwise lines.
4.Guards are not allowed to step into the squares.
5.The guards tag the passers that come within their reach, including those running past
them. But they must do it only when their feet are on the lines. Tagging a passer when
none or only one foot is on the line is not valid.
6.The guards prevent any passer from crossing the lines.
7.Passers need to cross all the lines as quickly as possible. No passer must stay inside
the square for more than 3 minutes (or depending on a set time the teams agreed).
8.Once a passer successfully crosses all the lines and returns to the base without being
tagged, his or her team earns points.
9.If a passer is tagged, he or she is “eliminated” and stays back behind the starting
point. The eliminated player either waits for his or her next turn to pass or wait until all
members of the passers’ team are eliminated.
10.Once all the passers are “eliminated”, their team becomes the Guards. And the
game continues with the two teams exchanging roles
Most important of all: players are expected to exercise safe tagging at all times.
