What are the rules for group rope skipping competitions?

1. Players

Each team member must be a student who is enrolled in school and has insurance. Each team has 12 registered players, including 9 players on the field (regardless of gender) and 3 substitutes.

2. Venue and Equipment

2.1 Competition Venue

The playing field is set at a distance of 30 meters.

2.2 Skipping rope

Each unit should prepare their own skipping rope, and the length of the rope should be about 2.8-3.3 meters. (Based on the conditions suitable for students to complete the rope skipping and running movements)

3. Team formation

The 9 members of the team stand in a horizontal row in the same direction. Students in the group take turns holding the rope handles of the students next to them on the left and right, and place the ropes behind them. The whole team forms a unified whole by crossing their ropes.

4. Start

The whole team forms a ready position (stands in a row) behind the starting line, waiting for the start signal. When the referee gives the "ready" command, all students are ready. After the "start" command is given, the students shake the rope from behind and run forward as a group. (Note: Each team has a commanding teacher who faces the students at a distance of about 3 meters. He/she will start commanding the team upon hearing the start command. The 9 people should maintain a horizontal row and march forward)

5. Timing and Results

Timing begins after the referee gives the start signal, and the clock is stopped and the finishing time of each team is recorded at the moment when the torso of the last team member in the overall horizontal formation crosses the finish line. Finally, the completion time is used as the competition result of each team. The team that takes the least time to complete the entire game wins, and the ranking is determined by time.

6. Fouls

6.1 If any member of the team crosses the starting line or pulls the rope prematurely before the start signal is given, it will be considered a starting foul. The whole team must return to the starting line and start again. If there are more than three starting fouls, the whole team will be disqualified.

6.2 During the game, each team member must shake and run, any other action will be considered a foul.

6.3 During the competition, if a team member stops the rope by mistake, it will be regarded as a team separation violation. All team members must return to the place where the first mistaken team member stopped the rope and continue to complete the remaining distance after forming a team. The clock will not stop during this period, and the time it takes to regroup will be counted into the team's score.

7. Safety Matters

During the competition, if a team member makes a mistake in shaking the rope or falls, all team members must stop running immediately under the command of the team commander to prevent injuries caused by dragging each other.
