Capture The Flag - Overview

Overview

Capture the Flag requires a playing field of some sort. Whether indoor or outdoor, the field is divided into two clearly designated halves, known as territories. Players form two teams, one for each territory. Each side has a "flag" which is most often a piece of fabric, but can be any object small enough to be easily carried by a person (night time games might use flashlights, glowsticks or lanterns as the flags). It is also suggested that teams wear dark colors at night time to increase the difficulty of the opponents to see them. The object of the game is for players to make their way into the opposing team's territory, grab the flag and return with it to their own territory without being tagged. The flag is defended mainly by tagging opposing players who attempt to take it. Within their own territory players are "safe," meaning that they cannot be tagged by opposing players. Once they cross in to the opposing team's territory they are vulnerable.
