Title Page

.....

To play, competitors sit on the floor with their barefooted right leg extended towards their opponent. Heels are placed together and big toes locked ready for battle. As in its less exotic brother, Arm Wrestling, each player tries to force his opponent’s foot down onto the ground using the most expedient method possible.

Each match consists of three ends; the first player to win two of these wins the contest.
