Players are assigned a call-sign, often a number, which is shared by a member of the opposing team. The teams line up on opposite edges of the playing area, at a distance enough to run across from each other, which has the "bacon" (a small object which can be grabbed and carried) in the center. A referee calls out the call-sign, and the team members who have that call-sign must run to the center, grab the bacon, and return to their teammates without being tagged by the other player(s) with that call-sign.
In this game, players are given a unique label, usually a number, which is also held by an opponent's teammate. The teams line up on opposite edges of the playing field, far enough apart for players to sprint across from each other, with a small object called "bacon" situated in the middle. A referee announces the call-sign, and team members who share that identifier must dash to the center, grab the bacon, and return to their own teammates without being tagged by the opposing player(s) with the same call-sign.
