High Cockalorum

High Cockalorum (also Highcockalorum or Buck Buck) is a mess game which involves two teams of roughly 12 people played in a large open space, such as a hall. One team, the supporting team, stands in a line at one end of the hall. The other team lines up at the opposite side. The other team must run as fast as they can and jump onto the backs of the supporting team. If all the players remain mounted for 10 seconds, the supporting team gets a point. They then swap over.
