I rewatched it a second time because I was sure Tom had said finish line multiple times... but he didn't. I'm betting the players did the same thing, just heard end and thought finish.
I agree with Tug-of-War. But would suggest that the start line is the middle, usually where the knot is, which you can tug over any times back-and-forth. And the end line are the two lines over which the game ends for whichever sides victory if the knot crosses that point.
I’m a fencer. I knew the answer instantly. I’m glad my sport is being spoken about! If a fencer steps outside the piste’s sidelines, he has to retreat one meter. If he does this on the last meter, he retreats to behind the back line, and therefore loses the point. We call them collectively “weapons”, individually they are foil, sabre and épée.
I'm a fencer and I _didn't_ manage to get this. Though in my case, I haven't done sport fencing in about a decade. And HEMA tends to be a lot looser, with fencers usually starting vaguely in a corner like in boxing, rather than at a specifically-drawn line.
I was gonna say "I'm glad I'm not the only person who thought of that," but considering the show's audience, I wouldn't be surprised if we were in the majority.
Sumo could also be a valid answer. The starting line is where you begin, the end line is the circle around. You can move freely within the circle, including crossing over the line where you started. But if you cross the outer line, you lose.
I also guessed this too.. tug of war works as well I think. Really the only difference between those two is tug of war is on basically a linear plane.. sumo just adds more directionality to basically the same fundamental rules..it's basically geometry.. take the linear plane of fencing and tug of war and simply rotate it 360 degrees to form a circle.
I was thinking: a race on a looped track of a fixed time; whoever travels the furthest wins, and since you're racing 'laps' you keep crossing the start line, and technically never cross the finish line (since it doesn't exist until everyone's stopped at the completed time, and the *finish* is marked as how far the furthest competitor travelled. ...and then Tom said "you can cross the start line as many times as you like in either direction", and so much for that! 😄
Similar for me, I was convinced it was the hour record in cycling. As many times around a velodrome as possible in the allotted time. Again falls down on the crossing the start line crossing in either direction
There are certain running competitions that where there is no finish line, rather a finish time, so 6h run, 12h run, 24h run. There is a start line, but the finish is in place when the time runs out and the staff is measuring the distance you've run
@@sorrynotsorry8224 I grew up calling the game Red Rover, but "bull rush" is something you could call if you wanted _everyone_ to run at once, instead of just calling out one person.
To answer Tom's implied question, fencing is usually done with either foils, rapiers, or epees, and I believe that's in order of size. Though sabre fencing is also a thing.
Was very certain it was a running distance record, i.e. distance run in 1hr. On a track you’d cross the start line many times, but there is no end line since the finish is determined by time rather than distance
I think it could be javelin throwing, but mostly because I saw a video that talked how rules changed to stop people throwing too far, and there was one thrower that tripped during his run, but the javelin did not leave the run up area, so he could go back and try again. Also if you pass the line and go into grass you will be disqualified. Not sure if there is a "start line" but probably there is a limit to how far you can go, and there probably is some sort of line to help with alignment.
To answer Tom's question at 5:00 about Gridiron football. Yes there are two end lines (back of the End Zones, but they're the same as any other out of bounds line.
British Bulldog is a tag-based playground and sporting game, commonly played in schoolyards and on athletic fields in the UK, Canada, South Africa, ... (Most commonly one or two players are selected to be the "bulldogs". They stand in the middle of the playing field. All remaining players stand at one end of the area (home). The aim of the game is to run from one end of the playing field to the other, without being caught by the bulldogs. When the players are caught, they become bulldogs themselves. The last player is the winner and starts the next game as bulldog.)
When they were stuck on the idea of racing, I thought of a Moebius loop where there's only a start line and no end line at all. But I don't know how that would work...
I thought Monopoly because its end is not defined by a line. But that's not a sport, so maybe one of those races where people/cars go for number of laps within a limited time. You may go over the starting line many times, but there is no end line.
My initial thought was sailing, because I remember the comical video from some years ago where the guy is doing fake running commentary of boats moving around on the water, but it turned out it was just the start of the race;; they kept having to fight the wind to get into position. I figured if the conditions were rough enough, the organizers might let it slide that people kept crossing the start line until they could all get into position behind the line. And maybe there wouldn't be an "end line" if, say, they finished coming onto shore instead of over a line.
I was going to say American Football. The "Line of scrimmage" (The line where each play starts) could be the "start line" and you cross it many times. The finish line would be the 0 yard line, marking the beginning of the Endzone, and a line on the far side of the endzone. This marks the boundary of the field, and so would be the end line. A pass caught beyond that line is not a good pass.
And here I was thinking bowling. You can cross the start line (where you need to let go of the ball) as much as you want - you lose the shot, but it's still a thing you can do. But you sure as heck aren't going to be crossing the line at the end of the alley, unless you want to get killed by a pin-setter machine.
My first thought was yachting or any sail boat race. They usually start at a certain point in time. Before the race, you can sail around and go over the start line all you want. Part of the manoevering at the start is to time it so that you end up crossing the line right when you are supposed to. The end line bit did not match this though.
I was thinking "surfing", but am likely wrong. Wondering if there's a pre-defined start line (between two buoys), but no defined end line (you finish when you get off the board).
My immediate thought was one of those games where you try to get as close to something as possible without going past, like boules or curling, but it's not a line. Could be a mario party minigame though, like the chain chomp in an alleyway one.
My first thought was long jump in the sand, where you jump over the start a ton but you're never gonna go past the end of the sand (haven't researched if anyone has ever done that at an international event before)
After he described what bulldog was, I thought it was dodgeball for sure since there is a line you can cross as much as you want and one that disqualifies you when crossed.
I guessed Sumo wrestling, which also technically works I think.. tho the point is to get the other person past the end line (out of the circle). I mean take the linear plane of fencing (or tug of war) and rotate it 360 degrees and you have the sumo ring. Basic geometry..
The first answer I came up with was the 24hrs of Le Mans. There's the start line which you cross a bunch, but the race ends after 24 hrs. Except after the 24 hours, the last time you cross the start line is the "end line".
Is it: Kabaddi? You have a start line which is the middle line, and then the end line would be the back of the court. And you aren't allowed to cross that back line. But the middle centre line is one that you cross both ways. This idea does break with the whole, you will know of this sport.
It would make sense, except for the fact that per 'round', or 'raid' (the actual Kabaddi term), you cross the middle line either once (if you fail to return) or twice (if you succeed). In this case, it was mentioned that one can cross the start line many times back and forth.
@@Lo33y_ actually it's two start lines, one for each opponent. and that line would be the line infront of the pawns. And you cross that line with the queen, king, knight, rook many times. but, you can't cross the end line which is the end of the chess board on either side.
Chess is also a valid answer. It's recognized as a sport by the Olympic committee, and we could call the first and eighth ranks the end line, but the second and seventh are the end line.
I was thinking about Javelin throwing, I know there is a line that you can't cross at the end and you can start over if you mess up your run but I don't know if there is a start line
My mind immediately went to something like bowling with a projectile, where the human can move in a limited area, but cannot touch the end where the projectile is supposed to reach. But they aren't facing each other.
That’s is not what we called bulldog in primary. What we called bulldog was when u had a line of people on one side of the yard/court, and then one person was “on” they were “it” and at once the people in the line would have to run to the other side of the yard without getting caught. Whoever got caught also became it. So then the group would continue to run back and forward, and the last person/ people to not get caught won
With backyard ultra marathon races, you have to run a loop within a certain time or else you will be disqualified. The race ends when only one person remains. It can go on for days. You cross the start line each time. You could say you cross the finish line with each complete loop, but there's no ultimate finish line per se. No pre-defined race distance.
My immediate thought was that it's billiards. You (meaning the cue ball) can and will start the front line many times, but since the end line is a state, not a physical location, you can never cross it because it isn't there to be crossed.
Hmm... that is very much _not_ the Bulldog I remember playing in school. Mainly because everyone except the bulldogs were all running in the same direction.
I was thinking Snooker; you can cross the start line where the cue ball sits many times, back and forth, and I took 'not being able to cross the end line' as that it doesnt exist.
Initial thoughts: My mind went straight to open-ended sports like jumping, weight-lifting, throwing, endurance-until-failure type of sports, etc. But all those are not Lateral enough; they just don't have an end line, per se. So, What is meant by "sport" exactly? That's really open to interpretation. Also, it's "sport", singular, which leads me to believe there is only one. So, very specific reasoning that can't be applied to any group or type of sports. On top of that, "can't cross" as in cosmological impossibility, or that it is not allowed by the rules and will get penalized/banned/voided if you do cross it? Maybe races from North pole to South pole? There is an end line (end point, in fact), but that you can never cross. But you also can't cross the start line... Perhaps the race to more powerful particle accelerators? They can speed up particles closer and closer to the speed of light, but never cross it (being at "rest" would be the start line)? But that is getting far-fetched as "sport".
I was so set on monopoly being the answer, it seems so "like them" to do so. but that fell apart when big tom said the line can be crossed in either direction
We just need a question now that includes "Finnish" where all the contestants assume it's "finish", because for some reason, that's all I was thinking of during this. "It's not a _finish_ line, it's a _Finnish_ line, as in the border. Can't cross that!"
Wait... Doesn't soccer also apply? The starting line is the middle of the field, and the end would be the line in front of the goal post, which I'm not sure players other than the goalkeeper can cross
Until he mentioned that you can cross the starting line from either side I was thinking about the 24 hours of Le Mans where the end is not determined by crossing a line but by running out of time, and since you are going around a loop you will cross the starting line many times
I was thinking banger racing - cross the start line at the start of the race, but there is no end line - the winner is the last survivor, not the person who reaches the finish line first.
Me thinking: In a drinking game, I can consider the start line to be the amount of fluid put into the glass/whatever and the end line would be nothing in it any more (which cannot be exceeded) but it could be refilled as often as wanted.
My guess was the 24 Hours of Le Mans, but I guess that is just a race and not a Sport. Since it is a timed event there is no "End Line" or "Finish Line" since it is just as far as you can go in 24 hours.
I thought it was the Indian game kabaddi, where you have to run out of a safe zone and tag some players or something (I'm not too familiar), and then run back to your safe zone.
I rewatched it a second time because I was sure Tom had said finish line multiple times... but he didn't. I'm betting the players did the same thing, just heard end and thought finish.
Same here. I just assumed that was the British term for finish line
I knew that was part of it instantly because I've never heard anyone call it an "end line" before.
At 3:17, Tom Lum caught on to the idea that "end line" is just the "name" of the line, but they didn't pursue that thought far enough.
I said Tug-of-war right away and I am going to stick with it with the start being your line you start at and the end line being the middle
I agree with Tug-of-War. But would suggest that the start line is the middle, usually where the knot is, which you can tug over any times back-and-forth. And the end line are the two lines over which the game ends for whichever sides victory if the knot crosses that point.
I too thought of tug of war, and... it's honestly not that different than fencing, just a pull instead of a push
Same - I was sure it was Tug-of-war.
Yes, Tug of war is essentially the same here and also correct.
tom said it wasn't a team sport tho, which is how i think most tug of war games are played(?)
I’m a fencer. I knew the answer instantly. I’m glad my sport is being spoken about!
If a fencer steps outside the piste’s sidelines, he has to retreat one meter. If he does this on the last meter, he retreats to behind the back line, and therefore loses the point.
We call them collectively “weapons”, individually they are foil, sabre and épée.
Can you give me a quote for the back garden, about 3 foot high?
@@danyunowork I think you're confused, a fencer is someone that shifts stolen goods. :p

by the way, the pointy thing is either called epee, foil or sabre in olympic fencing.
Listened to this episode on the bus ride home from my class in this sport… felt pretty proud of myself for this one
Loved this one's play on words
Sumo could also be a valid answer. The starting line is where you begin, the end line is the circle around. You can move freely within the circle, including crossing over the line where you started. But if you cross the outer line, you lose.
That's what I thought it was 😂
Tbf idk if you could call the perimeter of a circle an “end”, it’s more of an “edge”.

I was thinking of endurance motorsports eg the le mans 24h
My initial thought was endurance racing like Le Mans where there is no defined finish line but further comments made that not the way to go.
As someone who participated in this particular sport, I got the answer as soon as Tom finished reading the question.

Same would be true of sumo wouldn't it? Two start lines, and the boundary circle
I knew that it was going to be an oddball naming convention but could have never guessed the sport

From the explanation... Seems that you CAN cross the "end line", you just get penalized for it.
So glad to find out that red rover is a universal game, heard about multiple broken and sprained arms over the years from that lol
My immediate thought was sport fencing.
Wahey!! I got one!! 😁😁
Would sumo also work, where the end line ?is the circle that surrounds them
My initial thought was sailing, because I remember the comical video from some years ago where the guy is doing fake running commentary of boats moving around on the water, but it turned out it was just the start of the race;; they kept having to fight the wind to get into position.

It is sometimes a team sport, just not in the way you think
I guess that's true for any jump competition? Can you stop during the run and try again or once you start running you have to finish?
I thought of both tennis and long jump before the contestants said them... But I didn't get to fencing!
tough one, I usually get these quickly but best guess is something like bowling or darts
My first thought was shuffleboard or curling
I was thinking "surfing", but am likely wrong. Wondering if there's a pre-defined start line (between two buoys), but no defined end line (you finish when you get off the board).

In fencing, you physically can cross the back line, so you can cross it. But, it may not be in your best interests to do so
That's why I was thinking darts... You definitely can't go past the end line 'cause it's a wall with a target on it.
I was so sure this was going to be netball with the school playground comment
I thought it was bowling...
I guessed Sumo wrestling, which also technically works I think.. tho the point is to get the other person past the end line (out of the circle).

I was thinking Snooker; you can cross the start line where the cue ball sits many times, back and forth, and I took 'not being able to cross the end line' as that it doesnt exist.
I still think tug-of-war (which can be a team or individual event) would have the same rule.
"Darts" also seems like a valid answer.
Technically, you *can* cross the end line, but that means you lose.
Initial thoughts: My mind went straight to open-ended sports like jumping, weight-lifting, throwing, endurance-until-failure type of sports, etc. But all those are not Lateral enough; they just don't have an end line, per se.
So, What is meant by "sport" exactly? That's really open to interpretation. Also, it's "sport", singular, which leads me to believe there is only one.

For a bit, I was thinking, "Bowling".

My guess: Zeno's paradox, the sport.
I've done fencing for 10 years and it didn't cross my mind
My guess was the 24 Hours of Le Mans, but I guess that is just a race and not a Sport. Since it is a timed event there is no "End Line" or "Finish Line" since it is just as far as you can go in 24 hours.
3:55: There might be an international bulldog federation, but I don't think it's about the sport.
I assume that's the origin of the phrase "off-piste" then?
I thought it was the Indian game kabaddi, where you have to run out of a safe zone and tag some players or something (I'm not too familiar), and then run back to your safe zone.
I was thinking American football.
3:11 and my guess is Javelin, where yo can't cross the end line but throw multiple javelins?
I was thinking rope pulling...
Rodeo?
Oh there’s a finish line.
Sumo?
Hmmm multiple times…
idk
It wasnt bowling...it was olympic fencing, there are other types of fencing.
When did it stop being British Bulldog?
I think bowling also satisfies this answer
