How to play
Best played in a gym or outdoor court with painted lines. Assign one tipper per 10 players. Everyone must stay on the lines at all times, with no leaving or jumping over them. When tipped, a player sits down on the spot and becomes a roadblock. Only tippers can pass a roadblock. Everyone else treats it as a dead end. Game ends when all players are tipped.
