HOW:

Each must select their representative to do the toss.  Winning the toss entitles the players on that team to be runners.   The taggers stand on lines 1, 2, 3 and  another will watch  the  finishing line (#4).   Number 1 can go anywhere to tag the runners. So you have to choose who is agile enough to catch the runners.    The objective of the runners is to get through all the lines (1, 2, 3) back and forth without being tagged.  Taggers 1 and 2 tag the runners as they cross their lines or as they get near them.  Runners on the other hand must watch out that they wont be caught by the Taggers.     If runners is tagged 3x  while trying to crossing lines, the teams exchange places. 

As soon as one of the runners crosses line 3,  the one who takes care point number 4 is already  very watchful to prevent the runner from touching the base.  A base by the way can be a big rock, an empty can or a big piece of wood.  As soon as one runner was able to touch the base and calls out, "Tubig!"  This means 1 point  is scored in favor of his team. 

The team which scores three consecutive "nights" (or three points) is the winner, and will be the runners of the next game.
