SPEED JENGA RULES INTRAMURAL SPORTS 2.6.2 A player’s turn ends and their timer will turn off when they have placed the block on top of the tower.

This includes waiting the 10 seconds to see if the tower will fall. The player may take as long as necessary to pull the block as long as they begin pulling the block before the 20 seconds is up. 2.6.6 The last block touched before the 20 seconds are up is the block that must be pulled 2.6.7 Players may only use the blocks touching the block they are attempting to pull out as leverage and may not adjust the tower to stop it from falling. 2.7 If the tower falls within 10 seconds of placing a block on the top of the tower and before the opponent touches it, the last player to touch the tower loses. 2.8 The player who does not knock over the tower or who used up the least amount of time for their turns in a tied game will win. 2.8.1 Games will be called a tie if there is no winner after 15 minutes. The winner will be determined by least amount of time used.
3. Tournament play 3.1 Teams will be seeded into the single elimination bracket based off of record, head to head, time allowed, and random number generation. 3.2 The championship game will be a best of 3 series. First player to win 2 games will win the championship.
4. Drop-in Tournament Adjustments 4.1 Drop in games will have modified rules to allow for individual players to compete. 4.2 Individual players will participate by themselves to create the highest tower they can in the shortest amount of time. 4.3 The winner from each campus will be the individual that created the highest tower in the shortest amount of time. 4.4 Should an individual “max out” their tower, meaning they have no more playable moves, they will receive 30 seconds off of their total time.
