Objective: Toss an egg between you and your partner the longest without breaking the egg. There are 2 rounds. The Top 3 people from each round make it to the finals. Teams of two will hurl an egg at each other, trying to catch the egg with out it breaking. After each successful catch one player from the team will move back a line marked on the ground. The tossing continues. If an egg is broken that team remains until another team in the round advances past the spot last held by the broken egg team. The Catcher must be behind the line to make a legal catch. They can advance in front of the line to save the egg but teams must re-toss on a short throw. Teams get 3 changes to try a toss. If there is not a legal throw in 3 tosses the team is out even with an unbroken egg. If an egg lands on the ground behind the line it is considered a good toss and the team advances to the next line. Although a team has broken their egg first does not mean they lose the round. The 3 team that get to the farthest line back are determined the round winners and advances to the next round. If there is a tie (the last teams break their eggs on the same line) new eggs will be issued to the tied teams and play resumes until there is a winner.
