How it plays
- The pad is split in two, left foot and right foot. Your runner only moves while the taps alternate: left, right, left, right.
- Speed comes from the rhythm, not from drumming: strides spaced as evenly as the last one count in full, ragged ones much less, and two feet landing together is a trip. The wrong foot trips you too: speed gone and a second on the floor. First over the 100 m line wins.
Rules
- How it runs. The pad is two halves, one foot each. Only the foot you owe next is lit, and your runner takes a stride every time you put it down.
- Scoring. A stride is worth what its timing is worth: as evenly spaced as the one before it counts in full, ragged counts much less. Getting faster means shortening both gaps together, not hammering one side.
- Winning. Tapping the foot that is already down, or landing both almost together, tangles the legs: most of your speed gone and a second on the floor. Stop striding and speed bleeds away, and a line sweeps up the track taking anyone it catches. First over the 100 m line wins.
