Pig Tail

PIG TAIL
Invented by Wallace Haws 2007
Pig Tail: Stuff a sock with rags or something else soft. Tie a 1' foot length of soft rope or rag to the sock of one color and a 2' length of soft rope or rag of another color onto that(say color=red for this explanation).
Goal posts at each end of 100' play field: Place two poles like volley ball poles 10' foot apart. Tie two parallel ropes to the poles. The bottom rope to be 5' off the ground and the 2nd rope to be 8' off the ground.
Two teams of any number of players.
Object of the game: To throw the pig between the ropes to score a point. Each team is going toward a different goal. The game never stops even when a goal is scored. Just keep playing.
Throwing the pig: You must throw the pig underhand (not overhand!) with one hand holding only the "red" end of the pig. Throwing overhand or by holding the pig itself or the first part of the tail is illegal and the pig automatically goes to the other team.
Catching the pig: You must catch the pig by the "red" part of the tail. Catching the pig itself or by the part of the tail closest to the pig is illegal and the pig automatically becomes ownership of the other team.
Running with the pig after it is catch is illegal.
Dropping the pig after touching it in flight gives the pig to the other team.
Throwing the pig and then no-one touching it gives the pig to the opposite team.
Passing the pig: You stand, throw the pig by the "red" part of the tail, another team member catches it by the "red" tail.
Blocking: You must stay 3' away from the person to block. You can wave your arms, yell and distract, but too aggressive blocking gives the pig to the other team.

Play until you drop.
