Every year, the UP Diliman College of Social Sciences and Philosophy celebrates its

sports fest – the KAPPalakasan. This event is organized by the CSSP Student Council,

spearheaded by the Students’ Rights and Welfare Committee (STRAW Committee).

For this year, the theme of the College Sports fest is “Legends of the Hidden AS”,

inspired by the famous Nickelodeon game show we all grew up with. In the game show we see

children who are sport, enthusiastic and fair in the challenges of the game. This reflects the kind

of competition that the CSSPSC envisions for the college – healthy, fair and young-spirited.

The CSSP Student Council wishes the eight departments – Anthropology (ANT),

Geography (GEO), Linguistics (LNG), History (HIS), Philosophy (PHL), Political Science (POL),

Psychology (PSY) and Sociology (SOC) the best of luck in the games and hopes that every CSSP

student enjoys the games with people from within and outside their departments to foster

unity and sportsmanship in the college!

Points will be given based on ranking and by category. The team that will garner the

highest number of points at the end of all games shall be proclaimed this year’s over-all

KAPPalakasan Champion. The second and third will be proclaimed the first and second runners-

up, respectively. The only official tally sheet will be recorded and kept by the Students’ Rights

and Welfare Committee of the CSSP Student Council - the organizer of KAPPalakasan 2011.

team gains possession of the disc. In order to be considered inbounds, a player must land with both feet touching inside or on the boundary line. Should the disc land outside the lateral boundary; it is returned to play on the main playing field at the point where the disc went out-of-bounds. The player throwing the Frisbee in-bounds must have one foot on the line.

o No referee is used; the two teams play on an honor system. A member of the student council will keep the time and the score, and may be called upon to settle questions regarding rules, fouls, etc

o Time o Games will consist of two 10-minute periods, with a 5-minute halftime between the periods.

The clock will run continuously except for injuries, time outs and during the last 5 minutes of the second half and during the 5 minute overtime period.

o During the last 5 minutes and the overtime period, the clock will stop after every goal, for time outs, injuries, fouls, and when the disc goes out-of-bounds. The clock restarts when the disc is thrown in-bounds, when the receiving team touches the disc following a throw-off, or when both teams are ready to resume play.

o Each team is permitted 1 time-out per half and one per overtime period, each lasting one minute. Either team may call a time-out after a goal and before the ensuing throw-off. A team must be in possession of the disc in order to call a timeout during play.

o In the event of a tie at the end of regulation time, there will be an overtime period lasting 5 minutes. The captains will flip a coin to determine which team will throwoff.

o If there is no winner at the end of this period, the tie will be broken by sudden death overtime (first team to score wins).

o Throw-Off o Play begins with the throw-off. The captains of the two teams will flip a coin to determine

which will throw or receive, or choice of goal. The teams shall alternate throw-offs at the beginning of each period.

o A player on the goal line throws the disc toward the other team. As soon as the disc is released, all players may cross the goal lines. No player on the throwing team may touch the disc in the air or before it is touched by a member of the receiving team.

o *The receiving team may catch the disc or allow it to fall untouched to the ground. o If a member of the receiving team successfully catches the throw-of, that player has

possession at that point. If the receiving team touches the disc and fails to catch it, the team which threw off gains possession of the disc where it is stopped.

o If the disc is allowed to fall untouched to the ground, the receiving team has possession where it is stopped.

o The disc must land within the boundaries of the playing field on the throw-off. If it does not, the receiving team has the option to take the disc where it went out-of bounds or in the middle lateral to where it went out of bounds. Each time a goal is scored, the teams switch direction of their attack, and the team which scored throws-off on the signal of the receiving team.

The Play o The team, which has possession of the disc, must attempt to move the disc into position so

that they may score a goal. A player may propel the disc in any way he wishes. The Frisbee may never be handed from player to player. In order for the disc to go from one player to another, it must at some time be in the air.

o No player may walk, run or take steps while in possession of the disc. The momentum of the receiver, however, must be taken into consideration. Should a player take steps obviously not required to stop, play stops and he returns to the point where he gained possession and play resumes when both teams are ready.

o The player in possession may pivot on one foot, as in basketball. The thrower may not change his pivot foot. Only one player may guard the person in possession of the disc. The disc may not be wrenched from the grasp of an opposing player or knocked from his or her hand.

o The defensive team gains possession whenever the offensive team’s pass is incomplete, intercepted, knocked down or goes out-of-bounds. A rolling or sliding disc may be stopped by any player, but may not be advanced in any direction.

o After the disc is stopped, no defensive player may touch it. Possession is gained at the point where the disc is stopped. Any member of the team gaining possession of the disc may throw it.

o A player may catch his own throw if the disc has been touched by another player during its flight. Bobbing to gain control is permitted, but tipping to oneself is not allowed.

o Any time a team gains possession in the end zone which they are defending, the player may choose to resume play where the disc is stopped or at the goal line.

o A player may carry the disc up to the goal line provided that he or she approaches it perpendicularly. The player may not pass the disc as he or she approaches the goal line.

o If a team gains possession in the end zone, which it is attacking, the disc is carried perpendicularly to the goal line and play resumes immediately from the goal line.

o Fouls: o Only the player fouled calls a throwing foul. It is defined as any physical contact between

offensive and defensive player sufficient to deter the flight of the disc. o Contact occurring during the follow-through is not sufficient grounds for a foul. If the pass is

completed, the foul is automatically declined, and play proceeds without stopping. o A foul is also called when any physical contact occurs as a result of the offensive or defensive

players playing the man instead of the disc. This includes pushing, grabbing, clipping, holding, kicking, submarining, etc.

o The player who is fouled calls “foul,” play stops and the player gains possession at the point of the infraction. Play continues when both teams are ready. Should a foul occur in the end zone, possession is regained at the goal line.

o A stalling violation occurs when the player guarding the thrower calls out “stalling” and counts aloud 10 seconds. If the disc has not been released at the end of the count it is turned over to the defense at that point. The person guarding the thrower must be one disk away, but thrower cannot pivot into the defender.

o A goal is scored when an offensive player has two feet in the end zone after receiving a pass from a teammate. A player in possession may not score by running into the end zone. The team that scores receives one point.

o MERCY RULE: The game shall end if one team is ahead by 8 goals or more at halftime or any

time thereafter. o Substitutions can be made only: 1) after a goal and before the ensuing throw-off, 2) tore

place an injured player, or 3) after periods of play. Substitutions cannot be made during a timeout.

o There are no scrimmage lines or offsides in Ultimate Frisbee. The disc may be in any direction—forward, to the side, or backwards. The term “when both teams are ready,” implies that the defender will hold the disc until the defensive team is ready, and then hand the disc to the thrower—the clock restarts. It should be common practice that the offensive team remains stationary until the disc is given to the thrower.

3. Patintero

o Each team must be composed of five players, at least two female players each. o The game is started with a three-point Jack en Poy. Whoever wins becomes the passer. o A time limit of two-minute turn is given to each team to score. o Once the limit elapses, the line guards assume the positions of the passer, and vice versa. o Passers are supposed to cross the lines from the starting point and back. o Four line guards are positioned on the vertical line and one on the horizontal line of the

court. Their feet should be always on the line. o Line guards tag the passer with powered hands. o If any of the passer is tagged, the offensive team goes back behind the first line. o For each vertical line crossed, the offense accumulates 2 points, and a bonus 4 points if one

member completes all four lines back and forth. The highest number of points that could be accumulated in a 2-minute turn is 20.

o The group with the higher number of points after 6 turns will be declared the winner.

4. Dodge Ball

o Each team shall be composed of six (6) players, at least two of which have to be female. Each team may have a maximum of four (4) substitutes. o The object of the game is to eliminate all opposing players by getting them "OUT". This

may be done by: 1. Hitting an opposing player with a LIVE thrown ball below the shoulders. 2. Catching a LIVE ball thrown by your opponent before it touches the ground.

o Definition: LIVE: A ball that has been thrown and has not touched anything, including the floor/ground, another ball, another player, official or other item outside of the playing field (wall, ceiling, etc) BOUNDARIES

o During play, all players must remain within the boundary lines. Players may leave the boundaries through their end-line only to retrieve stray balls. They must also return through their end-line. THE OPENING RUSH

o Game begins by placing the dodgeballs along the center line – three (3) on one side of the center hash and three (3) on the other. Players then take a position behind their end line. Following a signal by the official, teams may approach the centerline to retrieve the balls. This signal officially starts the contest. Teams may only retrieve the three (3) balls to their right of the center hash. Once a ball is retrieved it must be taken behind the attack-line before it can be legally thrown. TIMING AND WINNING A GAME

o The first team to legally eliminate all opposing players will win a point for one contest. A 3-minute time limit has been established for each contest. If neither team has been eliminated at the end of the 3 minutes, the team with the greater number of players remaining will win the point. The team with most points in a three-point match will be declared winner. TIME-OUTS & SUBSTITUTIONS

o Each team will be allowed one (1) 30 second timeout per game. At this time a team may substitute players into the game.

o 5-SECOND VIOLATION

o In order to reduce stalling, a violation will be called if a team in the lead controls all six (6) balls on their side of the court for more than 5 seconds. This also applies to tied teams. More details can be found in the NADA Rule Book RULE ENFORCEMENT

o During pool play or regular-season matches, rules will be enforced primarily by the "honor system"*. Players will be expected to rule whether or not a hit was legal or whether they were legally eliminated. All contests will be supervised by a court monitor*. The court monitor’s responsibility will be to rule on any situation in which teams cannot agree.

o *NOTE: During tournament play, All Semi-Final and Final Round matches will be officiated by no less than three (3) N.A.D.A. Officials. These officials will rule on all legal hits, out-of-bounds and 5-second violations.

C. Board Games

1. Chess

o The games will be officiated using World Chess Championship Rules (www.ericschiller.com/pdf/OfficialRulesOfChessSample.pdf)

o The player may either be a male or female. o Touch-move rule will be employed. o Each player has 5 minutes of turn-time, if his/her time is depleted, the player

automatically loses the game. o The team that will win 2 out of the three games will be proclaimed winner of the match

and shall proceed to the next round. o In case of draw, a do-or-die game will be played. Player of each team for this game shall

be randomized. o Coaching will not be tolerated. o Disqualification of the team may be done if it was proven that fair play was not

observed. o Each game will be observed by a CSSPSC member to ensure fair play from both teams. o Referees’ decisions are final and irrevocable.

2. Game of the Generals o The player's set of pieces or soldiers with the corresponding ranks and functions consist of the

following 21 pieces. A higher ranking piece will eliminate any lower ranking piece, with the exception of the spy, which eliminates all pieces except the private. The pieces are bent at an angle in order to hide the piece's rank from the opponent.

o A challenge is signaled by placing one's piece on top of the opposing piece occupying one of the squares. The arbiter then examines the ranks of the opposing pieces and removes the lower-ranked piece off the board and returns it to the owner regardless of who initiated the challenge.

o The arbiter must take care not to reveal the ranks of the pieces to the opposition. The game can also be played without an arbiter. In this case, when a challenge is made, both players must state the ranks of their pieces before removing the lower-ranked piece. Therefore, the presence of the arbiter, though not compulsory, is especially important to ensure secrecy until the game is over.

o It should be noted, however, that official games are conducted with an arbiter. • Regardless of who initiated the challenge, their ranks determine which one is to be

removed. • Any one of the player's pieces can capture the opposing flag. This includes the

player's own flag. • Any piece eliminates the private except the spy and the flag. • Officers eliminate other officers that are ranked below it (e.g. a four-star general

eliminates a lieutenant-colonel). • A spy eliminates all officers (including the five-star general). Only the private can

eliminate the spy. • If both pieces are of the same rank, both are removed from the board.

• If a flag reaches the opposite end of the board, the opponent has one turn left although it is not announced. After the turn, the player reveals the flag. If the flag was not challenged, the player wins the game. If it was challenged, the player loses.

3. Sungka

o Each player owns the house to his right. o In each small pit are initially seven counters. o At each turn a player empties one of his small pits and then distributes its contents in a

counterclockwise direction, one by one, into the following pits including his own store, but passing the opponents store.

o If the last stone falls into a non-empty small pit, its contents are lifted and distributed in another lap.

o If the last stone is dropped into the player's own store, the player gets a bonus move. o If the last stone is dropped into an empty, the move ends. If the move ends by dropping the last

stone into one of your own small pits you capture the stones in the opponent's pit directly across the board and your own stone. The captured stones are deposited in your store. However, if the opponent's pit is empty, nothing is captured.

o The first move is played simultaneously. After that play is alternately. The first player to finish the first move may start the second move. However, in faceto-face play one player might start shortly after his opponent so that he could choose a response which would give him an advantage. There is no rule that actually could prevent such a tactic. So, in fact, the decision-making may be non-simultaneous.

o You must move if you can. If you can't a player must pass until he can move again. o The game ends when no stones are left in the small pits. o The player who captures most stones wins the game.

4. Scrabble

o Each team must be represented by two players. o The standard Scrabble rules shall be followed, specifically with the tile values, extra point values,

game start, first word score, end of scrabble game, and acceptable scrabble words. o In the event of a word challenge, the officiator should refer to a Standard English dictionary. o Every game will have four teams, the two teams with the highest scores, regardless of the match

bracket, will forward to the semi-finals. o In the finals game, the four competing teams will be ranked according to the semi-final bracket.
