Rules? A HASHMARK is a dollop of flour used to mark the trail. The pack should call out "On-On" when they see a hashmark and blow horns or whistles. The pack asks "RU?" (are you on trail?) of the FRB's (Front-Running Bastards) should be answered "On-On", which means they are on trail, or "Looking", which means they`ve lost the trail. ARROWs, or several closely spaced hashmarks, are used to indicate change of trail direction. The FRB's should use arrows different from those used by the hares as necessary to assist those further back in the pack. A CHECKMARK is a large circle with an "X" inside or sometimes just an "X" by itself. Checkmarks indicate that the trail is changing; that is, the pack must search for true trail. FRB's should call out "Checking" when they see a checkmark. (Checking IS NOT Looking!) A BLOWJOB is three lines of flour across the trail, indicating a false trail. The pack, upon encountering a backtrack, calls out "Blowjob", and goes back to the last checkmark to find true trail. Sometimes an FRB will draw an arrow with a backtrack sign at the checkmark to identify the false trail for the rest of the pack. A CHECKBACK is a devious variation of the checkmark/backtrack. A checkback is a CB followed by a number. For example, a "CB 5" means to backtrack five hashmarks, then look for true trail as one would at a check. Also known as a COUNTBACK. Tradition requires a DOWN-DOWN of a beer after a hasher's virgin hash, naming hash, and other significant occasions, e.g., 25th hash, 50th hash, etc. A Down-Down is also in order for hares, visitors, and for any other reason that can be thought up. While frowned upon as "alcohol abuse", it is permissible for non-drinkers to pour the beer over their head; a soda Down-Down may also be elected. The primary consideration of the Down-Down is that once the mug leaves the drinker's lips, it is turned upside-down over the head. THERE ARE NO RULES.
