Bring massive, world-class tug-of-war energy to your biggest events with our 50m x 38mm Competition Standard Tug-of-War Rope—designed to exceed many international competition specifications while delivering exceptional grip, durability, and accessibility. This extra-long rope is built for serious tug-of-war leagues, large sports clubs, major school or community tournaments, corporate mega team-building days, festivals, and high-stakes group challenges. The 38mm diameter provides a secure, powerful hold that’s challenging yet manageable for adults, older teens, and supervised mixed-age teams—ideal for authentic league play or epic group showdowns with larger numbers on each side.

Key Features:

• Extended Competition Dimensions — Full 50 meters long × 38mm diameter — significantly longer than standard competition ropes (typically 33–36m), allowing for very large teams (typically 12–20+ per side), wider pull zones, or multi-group events on grass, turf, beach, or large indoor spaces.
• Premium Untreated 3-Strand Jute — High-grade natural jute twisted for outstanding softness, flexibility, and raw tensile strength. Untreated and non-toxic—offers a comfortable, splinter-free hold with no rope burns or irritation during prolonged, intense pulls. Naturally mold- and rot-resistant, perfect for extended outdoor use.
• Red Centerline Ribbon Included — Heavy-duty 50mm red seatbelt webbing securely stitched at the exact center—engineered to withstand extreme force while clearly marking the centerline for fair, rule-compliant matches.
• Ergonomic 38mm Grip — Thick enough to fill the hands for a secure, low-fatigue hold; soft jute texture supports powerful, sustained pulling without slippage or discomfort—even through multiple high-stakes rounds.
• Professional Fray-Proof Ends — Both ends resin-dipped and sealed with extra-long, heavy-duty heat-shrink sleeves—prevents unraveling and keeps the rope intact under maximum tension, pull after pull.
• Certified for Competition & Safety — Compliant with TWIF (Tug of War International Federation) standards for official use, plus EN71 (European Toy Safety Standard) and ASTM (American Toy Safety Standard) for safe group and supervised youth participation.
• Built to Endure — Capable of handling extreme pulling forces—trusted for repeated league fixtures, major tournaments, large corporate challenges, and community festivals.

How to Play Tug-of-War – Standard Competition Rules:

1. Mark a clear centerline on the ground (cones, chalk, or tape).
2. Position the red ribbon precisely over the centerline.
3. Divide into two equal teams (typically 12–20+ per side for this extended length).
4. Grip underarm only—no wrapping around hands, wrists, or body (critical safety rule).
5. On the start signal, pull straight back—the first team to drag the opposing team’s anchor person across the centerline wins the pull. Best of three pulls decides the match!

Perfect For:

• Tug-of-war leagues and dedicated clubs running large fixtures
• Major school or inter-school tournaments and sports carnivals
• Large-scale corporate team-building events and leadership programs
• Sports clubs, rugby unions, fire brigades, and community organizations
• Beach festivals, park fundraisers, outdoor mega-challenges, and big group gatherings
• Supervised youth/adult Scout, Guide, or adventure activities

Important Notes:

• Recommended for Adults, Older Teens & Supervised Groups — The 38mm diameter offers excellent grip and intensity while remaining more accessible than thicker ropes—suitable for mixed teams with proper supervision.
• Pickup Only – No Standard Shipping — Due to its substantial 50m length and weight, this rope is available for pickup only from our Auckland location. For shipping quotes or special arrangements, please contact us at [email protected]—we’ll provide accurate options based on your requirements.
