|     Depends what is between the teams....
    I know of one competition where there are about 30 or 40 on each
    team, with ropes about 200 yards long, and a VERY muddy river in
    between.....
    
    The annual competition ends up with one or two muddy people!!

|     
    A Tug-o-War rope is 26 yards long or 78 feet.
    
    8 people on each team, is the normal, more if you want.
