7/8 meter rope per Six

Instructions:
Teams line up single file at a starting line. One Cub from each team sits down facing his team about 7/8 meters in front of the line.
First Cub in each team has a rope. Each Cub makes one throw with the rope trying to reach the drowning Cub. The sitting Cub tries to reach the rope being thrown without moving from his spot. He can lean and reach, but can not stand up
Each Cub throws the rope once and then goes to the end of the line.
Teams score one point whenever the drowning Cub can reach the rope thrown to him and the rescuing Cub does not lose the rope. The team with the most points when all members have thrown is the winner.
