One leader hides in the bushes in each of the clearings and, if other leaders are availble, on the route between the two clearings. On the command of GO, the object of the game is to get BOTH flags inside your own rope circle. The teams are to assign people to defensive tasks and to to offensive tasks. Bearing in mind that the teams don't know where the other clearing is, this can be quite an interesting phase of the game. Team A are allowed in Team B's circle, but Team A are not allowed in their OWN circle unless carrying a flag.
Defense takes the form of removing the other team's life bands.
When a player has had his band of wool removed, he is useless to his team until he gets it replaced by a leader, usually moving between the two clearings. If a player is running with a flag and his band is removed, he must drop the flag instantly. Depending on the Leader, points can be awarded for other team's bands. This game is played in four teams. Each team member has a number.
