I am going to make it my summer mission to hold one of these events! Cardboard tube fighting!!! It is like the best idea ever, and in general it goes a little something like this…

Anyone over 5 can take part and rules include “no poking, no stabbing and try to keep it above the belt”. Going for the face is allowed if a cardboard helmet is being worn. “Regulation” lightweight cardboard tubes are used which average at around 3 feet long. The player whose tube breaks to the point of a 45-degree angle or more first whilst dueling is the loser.
