GROUP OBSTACLE RACE – PROCEDURE

The GTO explains the rules of the task and the nature of the obstacles to all the groups.

• A dummy snake (rope) is given to each group which they have to carry with them all the time during the race.
• The whole group is required to run together with the snake. Individual running is prohibited.
• The colour rule of the PGT also applies here. The snake should not touch the ground and should be held by at least 3 group members when they are on an obstacle.
• Otherwise the whole group must hold the snake when approaching one obstacle from another.
• Each group is required to have a war cry for example “BHARAT MATA KI JAY”, “CHAK DE” etc.
• The group must shout the war cry loudly in order to motivate its group members and also to spook the rival group.
• A penalty in the form of time is imposed by the GTO if the group is found to break any rule.
• The group which finishes first after bearing the time penalties (if any) is declared the winner.
