Rules:
The game board is divided into two "sides" by a street or avenue. Each team is chosen at random; but friends' preferences will be respected. Armbands will be used to denote teams. Each team is given a flag and is allowed 10 minutes to hide the flag and develop a strategy. The flag MUST be placed on the corner of two streets. At the end of the 10 minute planning time, a cellular call will go out.

Cellphones will be used to make a telephone chain to keep up team communication.

The central street ("the border") is neutral territory, but the sidewalks of the central streets are not.

Players are safe on their side. If they are in enemy territory, they can be tagged by an opponent. If you are tagged, you must proceed to the border.

Players are allowed to use bicycles, skateboards, rollerblades, longboards, taxis, and B25/51 busses as long as they are not carrying a flag.

A point is scored when the enemy's flag enters your territory. When a point is scored, you must call a referee for the point to count.

The team with the most points at the end of the game wins! :)

All ages. You do not need to sign up, just show up :) But I appreciate the roll call! If you are late, simply choose a team by putting on an armband, which will be left for you.
