For a Jugger League here in Melbourne we are looking for males and females over the age of 16 to play

The rules of Jugger are based on the film Salute of the Jugger.

Basics Of Jugger

Aim of the game is to get a substitute for a dog skull (called a Jugg) to a goal to score a point. The Jugg may only be carried by the runners. Throwing or kicking the Jugg is not counted.

At the start of the game, every player chooses their weapon - staff weapon, short sword and shield, long sword and one player per team may carry a chain weapon. The runners get no weapons.

A game consists of three thirds lasting about five minutes.

The armed team-members have to guard their runner and fight a way for them through the opponents so the runner can score.

During the game armed players have to try and tag their opponents with their weapon and avoid getting tagged at the same time. Of course the players don't just beat up each other. The safety and health of the players do come first - that's why weapons are padded and there are referees.

Any player tagged by a weapon must kneel down immediately and no action may be taken for a set time (usually about 10 to 15 seconds).

The victor is proclaimed after the overall time.
