HOW DOES TRIBE WORK?
- Two crews of six face each other in a dragon boat with the two middle rows vacant
- Each crew will attempt to paddle the opposing team backwards into their 'DEN'
- A crew is declared the winner of a bout once they have successfully passed all six of their crew beyond the centre marker
- A typical round is made up of a best of three bouts
- Bouts are time limited to a maximum of 60 seconds per battle (Silver Tribe 45 seconds)*.
If no team has crossed the centre marker once time elapsed that bout is declared a draw
- In the event of a draw after three bouts an additional elimination bout may be run to determine the round winner
*can be adjusted to suit skill and fitness level of participants
