Flaunt

Flaunt is a sport played only within Reach Run. It involves 2 teams of 8 trying to knock each other off of rafts suspended high above water. It is played by children and professionals alike.

In Flaunt, 2 teams of 8 are pitted against one another. Each team has a raft held 100 feet above water that is 2 feet by 25 feet, called a Rung. Each team has 5 Beams, and 3 Catchers. Beams are not allowed to fly, and stand in a row upon their raft, each armed with 2 sandbags wrapped in a buoyant material called Bells. Their goal is to knock their opponents off their raft suspended 20 feet away from their own by throwing their Bells.

The Catcher comes in if a Bell misses its target, or a Beam is knocked off. Catchers are armed with a Crosse, a long stick with a wicker scoop that can be used to throw a Bell far and accurately. Catchers use their Crosse to return missed Bells to their team for reuse. Their team is rewarded by their speed. However Catchers are not allowed to strike Beams with returned Bells. Catchers are allowed to catch their team’s falling Beams and return them to their Rung given the falling Beam never touched the water.

If a Rung has no Beams upon it, that team loses.
