The group divides into two teams. One member of the first team bends over and wraps his/her arms around a tree or similar object (like a very big person in body mass), the next member bends over and hugs the first one around the waist, and the remaining members do the same one after the other to form a "horse". The other team takes turns shouting "buck buck number 1 (2, 3,...) coming!", then with a running start, jumping onto the back of the "horse". Each team member stays on the horse while subsequent jumpers accumulate.

Rules may vary, but generally the objective of the jumping team is to collapse or "break" the horse, and the objective of the horse team is to get a member of the jumping team to touch the ground without breaking the horse. The winning team gets to jump in the next round. Collapses can be especially stressful for the horse team because the jumpers keep their feet away from the ground, thus doing nothing to ease the impact.

[edit] Strategy
Strong and heavy team members are obviously valuable. There is some strategy involved in forming the horse (deciding where to place weaker players in the line), as well as choosing the order of jumpers (sending some good jumpers first to get as far forward as possible, others last because they may have to jump atop a heap of previous jumpers).

An ideal jump should land with as much impact as possible, preferably on the smallest and weakest parts of the horse, but balanced and steady enough to avoid toppling a previous jumper. The rules may allow jumpers to move forward, backward, and/or bounce up and down on the horse after landing; this can further weaken the horse, but also risks toppling a previous jumper if the jumpers are imbalanced.

With large teams (more than 10 players), the horse team may be limited to 6-10 players (a different subset each round), while the jumping team is unlimited. This helps to prevent ties, where the horse doesn't collapse and the jumping team doesn't fall off; with a smaller horse, the jumping team will generally end up sending enough jumpers to either win or lose.


[edit] Tournaments
Buck Buck is popular with several teams (such as college fraternities) because it is well-suited to a round-robin tournament. Teams normally play each other in best-of-three sets, randomly choosing which team jumps in the first round. At the end of the tournament, two overall winners are chosen: the winning jumping team (the team that collapsed the most horses during the tournament) and the winning horse team (the team that avoided collapse the most times during the tournament).


[edit] Cultural References
Bill Cosby's album Revenge includes a track "Buck Buck" in which he describes playing the game as a child. This track introduces Fat Albert, "the baddest Buck Buck breaker in the world", who was the basis for the hit cartoon series Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids.

Won't see my kid there. The OMBBA is a far superior league. The GTBBA is all about recruiting and paid coaches. For development, I prefer the hometown buck buck of the O

Did you see the parents yelling at the Buck Buck refs last night.

SH already has three organizations. Special Buck Buck throwback shirts are required at $125 a pop.

Why does the coach want my son to be the 3rd jumper, when his kid is always last jumper.

The buck buck warehouse will be opening its website

Do not pay retail again.

Parents who wear their kids Buck Buck jackets.

Do the Buck Buck terriers still need a tree hugger?

Sadly, Buck Buck Canada has decided not to renew the pilot project allowing bouncing on the horse at the Atom age. I expect to see a lot of 98s to be at the 97 tryouts this weekend.

1150,
I'm hearing that the Oakville hugger is coming over to the Terriers,

AA or single A?

You don't see real Buck Buck till Bantam.

My kids a little slow when it comes to Buck Buck, any good Buck Buck schools out there?

The Buck Buck academy charges $100 private buck lessons.

My kid is burned out from Buck Buck. Thinking of going back to hockey.

They call it a two year card, but it is really forever.

Sad part is if Buck Buck did get organized all the above would happen. lol

Anyone doing Spring Buck Buck? Or is it just a money grab.

He is doing 12 on 12 buck buck instead.

Lunch Time, we can play after school untill the streetlights go on. Tonight we're having Hamburger Helper.

Any Birthday Buck Buck's happening this week?

Girls should play in the girls buck buck league, since the boys cannot play in the girls buck buck league.

Canada lost its lead in producing the best Buck Buck players, once the best coaches got hired away to Europe and started teaching them. DC is all up in arms because the Europeans wear protective cups, which they hide behind, after illegally "high jumping". Now we need another "Canadian Sport" to prove that we're really different from Americans.

Are the good spring Buck Buck teams full, or are they still recruiting?

I've just read all the threads here and they have given me a renewed sense that there are people on NW54 with great senses of humour (and who can actually spell and use reasonable grammer...coincidence?).

You are wrong. I started this thread and made 25% of the posts and I have the worst grammer. So go buck buck yourself.

The Buck Buck refs from Waterloo are the worst!

You beleive the price of the new XXXX one peice composte Buck Buck poles. Thats just crazy, better to spend your money on Power Buck Buck classes.

The CYO is pulling out of Buck Buck Canada, tired of residency restrictions and their kids stuck in House League. Please replace Horse with Donkey in your rule books.

4 Ontario teams and many individual players at Onebuckbuck this year!
February 26 2008 at 12:02 PM
No score for this post










Slowly by surely One buck buck is building a solid reputation with Ontario players, parents and coaches and it means allot to us.

It's not easy to please Canadian buck buck players as they have so much buck buck tournament programs to chose from right in their back yard, but we did it.

In 2007, Ontario was represented by a 1992 team put together at the last minute. Kerri Goulet, owner and founder of www.mybuckbuckspace.com took on the challenge. This year this team has split up and now 2 teams have enrolled at the 1992 division. Pro Tips buck buck have also enrolled both 99 and 00 teams.

If you are interested into finding out why Ontario loves Onebuckbuck, go to www.onebuckbuck.com and send in your resume.

If you are an elite, the chances are you will be invited to join a former pro buckbuck player on Team Canada, Can-USA or America.

Former pro buck buck players coaching with Onebuckbuck born in Ontario are; Randy Burridge, Bill Huard, Rick Middleton
Former NHL players from other areas; Jean Francois Quintin, Craig Ludwig, Andy Roach, Garry Emmons, Jean Francois Jomphe, Normand Rochefort, Daniel Lacroix (coaching the NY Islanders this year and Team One buck buck Canada 1995), Frank Banham,

Sincerely,

One buck buck

Who are the top 98 buck buck players in Ontario?

I'd like to say that my son is one but you can see from the video below that he has to work on his jumping. In his defense, he got a late start at buck buck but with playing at school every day he's coming along. I'm looking at putting him in spring buck buck.
I keep reminding him that he and his buddies should not play so close to the brick wall.
