d. All candidates should be holding the snake when running from one
obstacle to the other, and while negotiating the obstacles, at least three

candidates should always be holding the snake.

e. The group rule of the PGT is applicable. Even if you cross the obstacle

first, wait for others and do not go to the next obstacle. Remember that
you have to win as a group and not as an individual. Therefore, help the

others or the snake to pass through the obstacles.

f. The colour rule is also applicable. Some portions of the obstacle will be

painted red. Make sure you do not touch red portions.

g. The group has to use the channel that has been assigned to them by the
GTO.

h. In case any of the rules are violated, the GTO will impose certain

penalties. Penalties can be of two types. The GTO may ask the group to

reverse count from 10 to 1 or from 5 to 1 or he may ask all or some of
the group members to repeat the obstacles. Thus, the group will lose

time.

The first obstacle

This obstacle is called the single ramp. The group is required to climb the
ramp and jump. A view of this obstacle is provided in picture 19.
