SUGGESTIONS• In order to make the sport more physical, is recommended to place the box of matches and the stack of t-shirts in opposite sides of a big room, so more running and more fun.

• To add more fun to the sport the number/color of matches shouldn’t be directly related with the number/color of t-shirts on the stack of t-shirts.
